As an avid knitter, you can quickly whip up a nice sweater, dress, or bag. Sometimes, though, you just don’t feel like counting rows, or it’s tricky to work in a new color of wool. Fortunately, there are plenty of handy knitting aids to make things a little easier for us all.
Yarnplaza.com is full of items related to knitting and crocheting. In addition to knitting and crochet hooks, wool, and, of course, yarn, we also have a wide variety of products designed to help you with your projects.
A Roundup of Knitting Accessories!
We've put together a list of some handy knitting tools for you:
Stitch Holders
If you don't want to lose any stitches, use a stitch holder while knitting. This makes it easy to transfer stitches to a spare needle or set them aside temporarily. Lana Grossa has a handy aluminum stitch holder.
Knitting Needle Gauge
A ruler for measuring the needle size of your Knitting Needles or the length of a Gauge swatch. This ruler also includes a small blade for cutting yarn.
Row Counter
Do you ever lose track of your row count? It happens to everyone. You can easily slide a Row Counter onto your Knitting Needle to keep track of which row you’re on. The Lana Grossa Row Counter is designed for Knitting Needles ranging from 2 to 7.5 mm.
Stitch Markers
Are you increasing or decreasing in your knitting or crochet project? Use Stitch Markers to make these stand out. They’re also very handy for marking the beginning and end of a round or row.
Corner protectors
Want to make sure your knitting doesn't slip off your needles? Then use needle caps. Not only are they handy, but they also keep your needles sharp when you store them. Multifunctional caps!
