I really like these. Using them for my sock project. If you put them on too snuggly it can be very difficult to get them off though.
What a great idea like I wish I’d thought of it. I know there’s all sorts of things out there to use as stoppers at the ends of needles but I really like yours because by gosh they stay on tight and not easy to take off so I know my project is safe on the needles. Great idea!
Great protection and a good variety of size so they fit most of my needles.
These tip ties are the best! They keep my work on the needles without fail.
These are great. They really help with saving stitches from slipping off!
Tip Ties - Knitting Needle Point Protectors
I live in a house with young kids, and these needle holders are the peace of mind I didn't know I needed. They go on easily, and hold my needles securely until I'm ready to start again.
I thought they fit to snug on the needles. I had a very hard time trying to get them off the needles. .
These work great to keep my project on my needles and my needles safe, great product!
Knitting needle tips never seem to sta on for me, and I’ve often had stitches fall off the needle. No one wants that to happen. Using these, the problem is solve. They go on and stay on. In fact they hang on the needles so tight that I need to work them off the needles. That’s just fine with me! Love the variety of sizes in the pack.
Very bad chemical smell
Oh no Carla, I'm so sorry about that! 😔
We have found that the PVC tubing can have a slight chemical smell but for some reason that particular scent hits some people MUCH harder than others. We've found the best option to handle any remaining smell is simply to wash with soap and hot water and let them dry and air out outside for a couple of days.
You can soak in a basin with hot water and dish soap, or throw them in with your laundry and let them run through a wash cycle (it won't hurt them, I promise!). If you find that the smell doesn't go away and they are just unusable, I am happy to take a return for a full refund.
I absolutely want you to be happy with your purchase!

Hard to remove.
These are great
What a creative use of silicone tubing! Great thing about these tip ties are the ability to try on a garment with the cable needles secured in place.
These are great! I also love the customer care that was given. A sweet little thank you note in the package I received! Highly reccomend!
Just got these in the mail today. So far so good. I am not always good at remembering to put them on and often drop stitches.
Used the tip ties for the first time, but I used them on double pointed needles on the decreasing rows of a hat. They worked well!!
Very unique idea love them
They're very easy to use, and save a lot of aggravation avoiding having my needles poke thru my mesh bags, or sticking them into the yarn ball. Such a smart idea, and appreciate that they come in different sizes for different needle widths. Since I work with the same size needle on more than one project, it's good that the packaging comes with more than one set, and more than one color! THANK YOU!!! Would absolutely recommend this product.
They are useful & don't fall off... hopefully, they won't loosen over time with repeated use
These work really great and do not slip off. It actually sticks to the needles pretty good and can be a bit difficult to take off once they are on.
Great stitch holders. I also love my row counter!!
I really wanted to like these tips, because I’ve loved all the items I’ve bought here. However, when I opened up the package I was greeted with a horrible chemical smell that has yet to dissipate (10 days later). I don’t know if anyone else has found this to be the case, but I can’t use them.
Oh no Laura, I'm so sorry about that! 😔

I received the protectors with my Spring 2025 subscription box (which is FANTASTIC). The point protectors work very well at keeping my stitches where they belong. Thank YOU!
Tip Ties - Knitting Needle Point Protectors
Just be careful not to push them too hard onto the tips, or you will have lots of trouble getting them off. They do a great job!
Nice and compact. Holds yarn well.
They are fine, but a little less substantial than I was expecting.
These are great for so many things, i.e. cable holders, slipping stitches, etc. A fantastic product! I'm so happy that the set includes multiple sizes.
I purchased the Tip Ties as a birthday gift for my SIL! I was sure she would love them and I was right! She remarked how different they are from other point protectors she’s had in the past and how easy they are to use. I immediately sent her the link to your website!
Really a good idea instead of just tips. I love it
