KNITPROKP45502 Aluminium Stitch Holders, Set of 3, Aluminium

Nice and colourful the closure part a bit difficult for old hands

Perfect for holding your knitting securely

Arrived fast. Packed well.I bought two sets of three holders - one set from HiyaHiya and the other from KnitPro so I could have different colours. I found 4 of the six holders from the two manufactuers were the same thickness of metal but the two smallest of ones from HiyaHiya were made of thinner metal.I measured each and give the lengths measured from the curved end to the inside of the retaining part - you can therefore save double the width of stitches flat on the holders and more if your stitches are gathered together along the holder.Large coloured turquoise 15cm (just under 6")Med coloured red 13cm (5.25").Small coloured orange or light brown 11cm - (just over 4.5")Measurements of the Knit Pro set are given on my review of those, all three of these being bigger than the largest of the three in the Hiya Hiya set. Actually I am pleased I bought both sets together as I now have 6 lengths from 15cm to 3.5cm. all different colours. I can now write down each time I use them which colour I have put specific stitches on or how many stitches are on one particular holder if I have to keep different lengths of knitting till sewing up time.NOTE the HiYa HiYa set of three holders measure 10cm. 6cm and 3.5cm - so it is worth buying both.

Easy to use, light weight. Can come undone in knitting bag and stitches could come off the holder, luckily I’ve noticed the holder is undone so haven’t lost stitches yet!

The product was just what I expected. But it could have fitted in an envelope, and instead was in a large box which adds unnecessarily to recycling.

These were vital for my last sweater to create some complicated button-holing. Very sympatico with the fine woll I knitted with, will order more of the range and sizes.

A trio of 3 different sized and coloured holders. They appear well made and hold the stitches well although did bend slightly when I used chunky wool. For the price paid though, they're value for money.

These are nice and smooth and don't catch on the wool when sliding the stitches onto them. They are secure and hold the stitches safely without the worry of any coming loose while working on other sections of my work. I really like the fact that they are so lightweight, they don't pull on the stitchs they are holding and they don't get in the way while working.
