INTRODUCING…
The Knitting Barber (TKB)
“Barber by day, knitter by night. Welcome to The Knitting Barber! We’re a cool knitting brand managed by a boss lady mama working as a barber and knitting teacher, operating from the west coast of Finland.” – quoted from The Knitting Barber
BRAND NEW ITEMS...Just arrived, directly from Finland!
A revolutionary new way
to put your stitches on hold!
Whether you need to put stitches on hold or want to be able to try on your work-in-progress as you go, you will love both the ease and convenience of The Knitting Barber (TKB) cords!
TKB Cords are a Knitters best friend! These colourful silicone cords are handy when you need to put stitches on hold or you need to try the garment on.
Use these handy silicone cords instead of traditional stitch holders or waste yarn. Simply tuck the cord snuggly onto the needle tip and transfer your stitches from the needle to the cord. When you need to put the stitches back onto the needle, simply reverse the process – YES!! It’s THAT easy!
Fits needles up to size 5.50mm (US9)
The TKB-Cords are in-stock in 10 different colours: black, red, yellow, light green, light blue, blue, violet, mauve, fuchsia and white.
Note: These TKB Cords were designed by Jojo Stolpe and she makes each set by hand in Vasa, Finland.
**On a personal note, I have to say…these cords are AWESOME!!! Soooo easy to use, not to mention helpful! This is one of those things that make you think, “why didn’t I think of that?!?” It’s so simple, yet such a brilliant ‘invention’. Janet chose purple (of course!) and Carol & I chose light green – what colour will you pick???
Each TKB Cord Set includes:
- 2 silicone cords of 30" (76 cm)
- 1 silicone cord of 60" (152 cm)
- 1 screw top metal storage tin
- $17.98 (+tax)
How do they work?
Say goodbye to frustrating waste yarn and hello to these hollow silicone cables!
Just press the open end of the cable on to the tip of your needle and gently slip your stitches onto the cable for holding, and vice versa for placing the stitches back on to the needles! (If placing sleeves or stitches on hold to pick up later, just tie the ends together until you're ready to make those stitches live again.)

Once on the cord, allow your stitches to stretch around the added circumference to make trying on your garments a breeze; can be used for sleeves, body, hats, etc.
