Addi Yarn Arm

We can't decide if this is silly or brilliant, so we'll let you decide!  This clever yarn holder allows you to keep your yarn contained and neat while you knit.  You can walk around, ride in a car or plane, or knit with your pets nearby but have no concerns about your yarn ball rolling away and causing chaos! The Addi Yarn Arm is a brilliant new concept in knitting and crochet yarn management!

Patented design “Made in Germany” made from organic material

The patented design (patent pending) was created by Louise and Adrian Grieves, who presented their invention to us in 2025 at the h+h cologne craft fair. The addi team was immediately impressed, and so, together with the inventor, we developed a production process within a year. As a quality brand “Made in Germany”, it quickly became clear to us that we wanted to test alternative materials to conventional plastic. In consultation with our German manufacturer, we worked on a solution using the new, purely organic material “GC Green”, which offers the following advantages:

• Sunflower seed husks from the food industry are used as natural fibres – a waste product that is put to good use.
• The material can decompose under natural conditions without leaving behind microplastics.
• Processing at lower temperatures, resulting in lower energy consumption (up to approx. 20% savings).
• Lightweight thanks to low-density natural fibres.
