Stitch Holder Kit

When knitting top-down, seamless sweaters, there comes a point when you need to take your sleeve stitches off onto a holder. Safety-pin type stitch holders don’t work for this. Scrap yarn works, but tends to slip up into the stitches, making the job of getting each stitch back onto a needle laborious. You can leave them on a spare circular needle or cord – but it’s challenging to have needles and cord hanging everywhere. A leather cord has the flexibility of yarn, but is firm enough to keep the stitches from disappearing up into themselves. The interior-threaded needle means you can knit onto and off of the cord – like a leather circular needle. The needles screw onto, and off of, the leather cord.

Set includes two interior-threaded needles and three lengths of leather cord: one long (59"/ 150 cm) and two short (29.5"/ 75 cm).

• Needles made of nickel plated steel
• Long Cord holds sts of sweater body – 59"/ 150 cm
• Short Cords holds sts of sleeves – 29.5"/ 75 cm
