'Try it On' Cord

These hollow silicone cords are a great for putting stitches temporarily on hold, or if you want to be able to try on your work-in-progress as you go.
Simply press the open ends of the hollow cord onto the tips of your circular needles and allow your stitches to stretch around the added circumference to make trying on your top-down garments a breeze. Need to put stitches on hold (e.g. sleeves, body, etc.)? Just place the open end of the cable over the tip of one end of your circular needles and gently ease sleeve stitches onto the cord. Reverse the process to pick the stitches back up later.
For holding live stitches to try on garments, we recommend purchasing 1.5meter (quantity '3')
