Try Happy High Herbs in Newtown,just down from the station.
Or call thought Sport on (02)4473 7771, they are on the south coast but thats where I got my LED poi.

Indeed you can make your own sock poi but when you start doing more interesting moves like stalls you'll realise that the stretchiness of knitted socks is not your friend.

Firm fabric 'cone' poi are infinitely better. And if you wanting fire poi, I really do recommend you buy them from somewhere like HoP that uses quality parts.

I disagree there, gabe... doing stalls is fine with stretchy poi.. in fact it can help by having more give...

My sock poi don't even have any stretch left in them at all... but that wouldnt be the case if I used tennis balls... but tennis balls are WAAAY too light anyway... people who use tennis balls all tend to have the same funny flail-like style (No offense to people who use them) its not caused by a lack of skill... but it doesnt allow you to know EXACTLY where the poi are, just sort of vaguely where they are... extensions are lots easier with poi that are a bit heavier.

It's the 'give' that is the problem with knitted fabric! Tangles, loops, orbitals, stall, all much easier with firm fabric. Try it. Notice what the really good folk - Nick W, Yuta etc use... its nearly always firm heavy poi. I agree about tennis balls, way too light. THat's why Nick is recommending rice in balloons. Cheap shops often have heavier density foam balls. Hacky sacks work too.

I think for beginners the give helps... it does with stalls for sure....

And if you use em the stretch disappears quickly! I'll show you mine at CG if you like. smile
