A Real Project Saver!

A knitting friend and I used to bemoan the failure of the needle stops we had tried (and they always failed us). On a whim, I purchased a set. Now, I have them in all the places I knit and ALWAYS use them. They are on my current project to keep my slippery yarn on my metal needles.

Absolutely perfect for my size 1 DPN

Absolutely perfect for my size 1 DPN. As a beginner knitter with confidence issues in not dropping stitches on a sock, these are perfect, small enough to stay out of the way, and strong enough to grip the needle tightly. Definitely would recommend!

The best!

These are so great! They stay on really well, unlike so of the ones made of rubber. I highly recommend them!

Love Them!

I never realized how often my stitches fell off my needles. Since I've used these, I haven't had any problems at all.

Perfect Tool!

These cable locks work perfectly to keep my stitches on a 9" circular needle that I'm using to make a sock. I was using something else that kept slipping off, and this did the trick. Thank you!!

Cable Locks for Crochet

Ever need a quick way to protect your crochet project from frogging on its own?? Received Cable Locks that I ordered yesterday and it works wonderfully. Thank you to your helpful support team for assisting me in getting the correct size for my most used hooks. Looking forward to using my new Pastel Pearl row counter on my cardigan.

Cable Locks are a must have!

I figured I would try these cable locks in the two smaller sizes and woah! So impressed! I use the larger ones on my knitting needles and the smaller ones are solving the problem of my stitch holders coming accidentally undone, losing stitches. The pink ones are a perfect match! I was also pleasantly surprised that the larger ones are just as tight on the stitch holders, and both sizes fit in the tins!

Cable locks for crochet

I bought the cable locks to try with crochet. They work! My stitches stay on the needle instead of unraveling in my bag. I love them!

Needle stoppers

These little devices are perfect for keeping my stitches on my 9" circular needles. And I love the colors.

Great gadget

I was eyeing this product for a while but once I cast on 421 stitches I knew I needed it. And I was not disappointed. Works as advertised and makes the knitting smoother.

Great product

Peace of mind when you have to put your WIP down

These cable locks are great. They fit snugly on your needles and prevent the work from slipping off. They have good construction—no little snaggy bits of plastic—and they fit a range of needle sizes.

Cable Locks - Circular Needle Cord Stops

I love these cable locks! They are better than any other stitch stoppers I have used. I especially like that they can be used on a range of needle sizes unlike other stitch stoppers that are made for specific sizes. Plus, they don’t fall off the needles when I put my knitting in a project bag as other stoppers do sometimes. In my very first order I got a set of cable locks to give them a try. After using them, I knew I would be purchasing more for my many WIPs:)

Project Saver

Working on a Magic Loop circular table cover, using three strands of #2 fine yarn and now up to over 300 stitches. Ordered these Cable Lock, received them quickly and have been able to continue knitting without any more stitches falling off very crowded needles!!

Love my Cable locks

I love my cable locks and use them often. I use them most as stoppers for the end of my needles. I just needed a way to keep them close at hand when not in use and did not want to put them down. So my simple solution? I put them on a regular stitch holder that I clipped to my knitting.

Cable locks are useful

I knit with long circular needles. the cable locks prevents fishing to find the stitches and moving them to work.

Great notion

I purchased 3 different sizes...small, medium and large. I didn't think that I would use a lot to push my stitches forward. I an making a baby afghan to use in a stroller or car seat with only 100 stitches. I am really glad that I purchased these. It is a very useful tool. I have purchased many items recently and enjoy all of them. However I needed to comment on these because if you're not sure about them, try them. I'm very glad I did.

Love them

Great stops but I also use one of the large size to hold my two tiny sock needles both together in one stop when I’m putting them away in my bag. Super nice.

Cable locks

After seeing this on social media I broke down and purchased them. I am no longer fighting my project and pushing stitches across the cable constantly. These where a great purchase and work better that the needle caps to keep my projects in place when I’m not knitting.

So much better than the plastic tip style!
