Cocoknits Leathercord Needle Stitch Holder

When knitting top-down, seamless sweaters, there comes a point when you need to take your sleeve or body stitches off onto a holder. This 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.

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

- Two interior-threaded needles
- Three lengths of leather cord
- One long (59"/150 cm)
- Two short (29.5"/75 cm)
How to Use

- Use the Stitch Holder Kit in lieu of scrap yarn whenever you need to hold live stitches. The threaded needles allow you to knit off of your leather cord.
- Keep the contents of your kit in the reusable kraft drawer box.
Care

- Just like hands, leather can get dry & needs moisturising. We suggest treating the cord with a leather conditioner to keep your cords smooth and limber.
- Screw the needle on only until it is attached to the cord. If you continue to over-screw, you risk breaking the leather inside the needle.
- Snipping the end of your leather cord at an angle will facilitate attaching the needle.
- Leather has a grain, so be sure to "go with the grain" when sliding stitches on & off the cord.
