A great set of  silicone cords from The Knitting Barber, based in Finland. One set contains three silicone cords, 1×150 cm and 2×75 cm, packed in a metal tin.

These are the perfect thing for holding sleeve stitches, as well as front or backs of sweaters. The longest cord can also be used to hold all the stiches of a top down sweater so that you can try it on as you go!

Simply fit the tip of your needle into the end of these hollow silicone cords, and then gently slip your stitches onto the cord. Then do the same in reverse to get your stitches back onto your needles! They are also flexible enough to be knotted together to prevent you losing any stitches.

These cords are made by hand by Jojo, owner of the The Knitting Barber in Vasa, Finland.
