Stitch-Keepers:
Handy little protectors for double-pointed needle sets: two soft plastic caps connected by a length of elastic.

Medium - Perfect for 6 -7" needles such as Crystal Palace. Large - Ideal for 8" needles. Each length comes in three cup sizes to suit the thickness of your needles: Fine : 2 - 3 mm/ 0-3 US Regular : 3.25 - 3.75 mm / 3-5 US Chubby : 4 - 5 mm / 5 -8 US If you are confused at this point: simply decribe to us the needles you wish to nurture and we'll work out the size you need! Price (all sizes): $9.00 Cdn per Stitch-keeper. |
