Knitting and Weaving Aids

This category collects the small tools that make knitting easier and open neighbouring techniques such as weaving: Nurge 4, 6 and 8-pin knitting spools (i-cord, necklaces and amigurumi limbs), the Nurge wooden yarn holder (the ball turns without tangling), the DMC mini weaving loom and wooden pegged and notched weaving frames (wall weavings, coasters) and the DMC clip-on magnifier with removable lens. Hooks and needles are in Crochet Hooks & Knitting Needles, cords in Macramé Yarn, all aids in Other Tools.

What Each Tool Does

The knitting spool knits a tube cord as you wrap the pins; 4 pins give a thin cord, 8 a thick one, for necklaces, bag handles and amigurumi limbs. The weaving frame holds the warp while you pass the weft for small woven panels; start with the notched frame and thick yarn. The yarn holder keeps the ball in place and the magnifier rests the eyes when counting amigurumi stitches.
