Cocoknits Leather Cord and Needle Stitch Holder Kit

When knitting top-down, seamless sweaters, you need to take your sleeve stitches off the needle and onto a holder. Safety-pin type stitch holders don't work for this. Scrap yarn works but tends to slip into the stitches, making it challenging to get each stitch back onto a needle. You can leave them on a spare circular needle or cord, but it's tough to have needles and cord hanging everywhere.

The Cocoknits Leather Cord and Needle Stitch Holder Kit features a leather cord that is flexible like yarn but firm enough to keep stitches from disappearing up into themselves. The interior-threaded needle lets you knit on 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 holds 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 'sticky,' 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.
