Cocoknits Leather Cord and Needle Stitch Holder Kit

£29.99

When knitting top-down, seamless sweaters, there comes the 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 difficult. You can leave them on a spare circular needle or cord, but it's challenging to have needles and cord hanging everywhere.

Cocoknits found that a leather cord had the flexibility of yarn but was firm enough to keep the stitches from disappearing up into themselves. The interior-threaded needle means you can knit onto and off the cord, like a leather circular needle. The needles screw onto and off the leather cord.  

  • Needles made of nickel-plated steel.
  • The long cord hold the stitches of the sweater body – 150 cm (59")
  • The short cords hold stitches of sleeves – 75 cm (29.5")

The leather can be a bit on the 'sticky' side, so to make things a little easier on the yarn, you could use some beeswax. Leather has a grain, so be sure to 'go with the grain' when sliding stitches on and off the cord.

If you're looking for extra cords, check out the Cocoknits Leather Cord Set.

This product is incomplete it is missing the threading to place the needle into the leather strip. Too bad otherwise a nice thought.

I purchased this item last year and have been using it a lot recently making jumpers and things. It is fantastic. I don’t know how i managed with out it. I’ve used it with fingering weight to ,extra chunky? , Rowan BigWool. And easy to knit back onto your needles.
