Silicone Stitch Holders

$3.95
SKU:

Sold by the meter ~39" / 100cm long.
If you order two in the same colour, you will receive as one piece ~78" / 200cm long that you are welcome to trim down to smaller sizes/pieces as you like.

The "regular" size cords have a 2mm OD and 1mm ID but stretch onto larger tips - we have successfully used with 6.50mm needles - they aren't intended to fully fit onto the entire tip of  needles, but just far enough onto the taper to get a good hold.

The "bulky" size cords have a 4mm OD and 2mm ID - they are good for extra large needle sizes, such as 6.50mm and larger!

Silicone is very stretchy, so you can 'wiggle' the open ends onto your needle tips to make slipping your stitches onto a holder quick and easy. Once on, it grips your needle well enough that your stitches can slip on/off without the usual fussy picking up off of a thread or awkward metal holder. The silicone is not slippery like metal, so it holds the stitches until you pull intentionally on the stitches to slide them off. 

Sometimes called a knit keeper cord, stitch keeper cord, sweater band.
