Nancy's Knit Knacks Circular Needle ID Tags
Finally a solution has been created for identifying those hard-to-read circular needles.
These little highly engineered plastic tags are designed to snap onto your cables and not fall off.
ID Tags are extruded from a special plastic and the needle sizes
are then "etched" into the yellow surface. The black numbers will
never wear off.
Each Tag has little "barbs" that keep
the cable from slipping out through the slot when they are installed on your
needle. Yet, give them a gentle tug and they are easily removed. They will not
fall off accidentally, either. They simply work great.
Each set includes 29 Tags. The ID Tags are offered in 2 different sets because
NKK has found that knitters tend to use either small or large needles most of the time.
They thought it would be better to give them what they needed and allow them to buy more of a particular size range.
Set composition:
ID Tags sell in sets of 29 tags.
Each set has multiple ID Tags for each needle size.
The more popular needle sizes within each set have 3 or 4 tags each.
See the chart below for more details.

Note: for Sizes 17, 19, and 35, we do not offer Tags for the
Addi Turbo needles because of their unusually large cable diameters and because
they are properly marked already.
NKK DP Needle Tube™ A solution for holding and
protecting your valuable and delicate Double Pointed Needles. Also works for crochet hooks and tatting needles!
Nancy's Knit Knacks solution consists of a
strong paper, telescopic tube with closed ends. Its diameter is wide
enough to hold 5 #10 US needles (or many more smaller needles or 2 to 4 larger
needles).
The Tubes can extend to hold 10" long
needles. It also shortens to a total length of 6-1/2". They have inside
diameters of 5/8" and outside diameters of approx. 3/4".
Once again, Nancy's Knit Knacks has been able
to analyze a "problem" affecting fiber artists and have been able to
develop a market leading solution.
Package of 4 Tubes...$6.50 #649114
Why are NKK DP Needle Tubes so great?
They are inexpensive, so you can easily afford to own one
or more packages of 4 tubes.
They protect needles better than any other solution
while maintaining a sleek form factor.
They are flexible and expand to hold the shortest needles
up to needles with lengths of 10". They do this while protecting both
the needle bodies and tips. Needles cannot be broken while inside our tubes.
Fabric holders cannot make that same claim nor can the "rubber band or
closure" systems.
They are attractive - in glossy Royal Blue and Yellow
colors.
The needle sizes can be written on the yellow cap (or tube
body) with a Sharpie brand marker.
Note: the leading edge "corners" are rounded off
in the final production units (Pre-production units are pictured above). A solution for holding and
protecting your valuable and delicate Double Pointed Needles while they
are still connected to your project!
Nancy's Knit Knacks latest
addition to their paper tube product line now protects both your DP needles and
your Project at the same time. The DP Wip Tubes™ allow you to
properly protect your project while it is in progress (work-in-progress or
"Wip").
NKK solution consists of
strong, rigid, paper telescopic tubes with closed ends. Their 5/8"
inside diameter is wide enough to hold your needles and your knitted project.
The tubes can extend to hold
5" to 10" long needles.
Priced at just $8.99 for a
package of 2 pairs of tubes. #649112
Why are NKK DP Wip Tubes so great?
They are inexpensive so you can easily
afford to own one or more packages of 2 tubes each.
They allow you to protect your DPNs and
your project while it is in progress better than any other solution
while maintaining a sleek form factor.
They are flexible and extend to hold both
the shortest and longest needles. They do this while protecting both
the needle bodies, tips, and stitches. Needles cannot be broken while inside
our tubes.
Your stitches are safely protected inside
the tube and less likely to fall off of the needles.
Wip Tubes are attractive - in leatherette
look embossed papers (Navy Blue inner and rich Red outer tubes with white
linings (acid-free paper)).
They are made in the USA by paper tube
specialists
Tubular Cases
Tubular, clear 1-1/4" diameter plastic cases with black cushioned end caps
for storage of knitting needles, crochet hooks, afghan hooks, tatting shuttles
and needles, netting needles and shuttles, etc. By cutting a slit in one of the
end caps, needles can be inserted and removed by simply squeezing tube.
Includes holes for sizes
1.5 mm to 19 mm - (US needle sizes 000 to 35/hook sizes B to S)
24 holes in total. There is no other gauge on the market that has this many
needle/hook sizes.
Has both inch and cm rulers. Made
in the USA. Measures 3-5/16" x
5-1/4." $3.99 #649108
Why is Nancy's Knit Knacks gauge better than any other on the
market?
Its size fits into your hand properly and you can
manipulate the needles into and out of the holes more easily than with the
other gauges
It has more needle size holes than any other gauge - 24 in
total.
It is accurate. NKK machined each hole into the plastic
with a computerized cutting machine (CNC cutter). The others stamp theirs
out of metal or mold them in plastic. Both methods are inferior when
compared to CNC operations. Why does NKK use the more expensive method CNC?
Because it is more accurate.
It has the metric and US needles sizes as well as Crochet
Hook sizes.
NKK's gauge is made in the USA. Theirs are typically made
in China, India, and Germany.
NKK's gauge is legible. They use a special ink that prints
crisply and will not wear off.
NKK's unit will not break or bend.

NKK
Hip Knit Sack
Nancy's Knit Knacks Hip Knit Sack extends the highly successful Knit Knack Sack product line to a new (hip) level!
This great bag has special pouches and sections which are designed to hold your iPod, knitting, and wallet/valuables.
Comfortable, functional and attractive! The Hip Knit Sack is made from a medium weight (6 - 7 ounce) twill fabric which is a tightly woven but flexible fabric.
The Hip Knit Sack is a bandolier style bag which is worn over your shoulder and across your chest. The Sack section is positioned on your hip (hence "one" of the reasons for the name).
On the bandolier portion, a small pouch with a Velcro style strip is designed to hold your iPod (or other MP3 player) or cell phone. This makes it convenient for your earphones to extend up to your ears WITHOUT interfering with your knitting.
The Sack portion is similar to the Knit Knack Sacks in terms of overall size, It does not contain the internal pockets and needle holders that
the Knit Knack Sack II does, however. An elasticized band and a closure snap keep your knitting contained in this section of the Sack.
On the back of the Knit Knack Sack portion there is a zippered purse which includes an internal pocket. Put your wallet and other valuables in this highly secure (and hidden) section. Incidentally, in terms of security, a bandolier style bag is always more secure than a plain shoulder bag. Plus when you see
the webbing and buckle hardware, you will realize that this bag is very secure. Great for vacationing in tourist areas which may be prone to purse snatching.
A sturdy 1-1/2" cotton webbing belt with a quick disconnect side release buckle is fully adjustable for your height.
Durable, attractive, and highly functional. The NKK Hip Knit Sack is designed for knitters of all ages.
Price:
$44.99 #649127
(Note: specify Khaki Twill or Denim when ordering)
Note: The sacks in the above pictures may or may not be adjusted properly for the ideal fit. Rest assured that you have full adjustability in the length via the web strap and heavy duty buckle on the back of the sack.
Lavender Fragrance Stones
In sheer organza bags with satin cord. Great for project bags, sweater
drawers and yarn storage. Scent lasts for months and may be revived by filing
the stones with a coarse nail file. Made with fragrance oils, avoid direct
contact with plastics and wood finishes. Approximate net wt: 2
ounces. $5.95 per bag #319081
A light cream that glides on smoothly and leaves no greasy after-feel.
It was developed for people who suffer from chapped hands in the winter or
do a lot of outdoor work in the summer. The secret ingredient is lanolin
- the waterproof oil extracted from sheep's wool - which protects the skin while
absorbing quickly.
It also contains kokum butter. Extracted from
the kernels of the Kokum tree (Garcinia indica) native to India, this butter
contains excellent emollient properties that help to soften & soothe dry and
damaged skin while restoring elasticity and flexibility. As well as sunflower
oil - often referred to as nature’s “second skin”, an oil
rich in vitamins A & E (a natural antioxidant) and containing essential
fatty acids that help to hold moisture next to your skin.
Scented with several different fragrance or essential oils, this cream is also
excellent for callused and dry feet and toes. Now contains Silk Amino Acids - a protein which
increases your skin's ability to retain moisture while it protects &
conditions, and Chamomile extract known for its
skin-soothing and softening effect. Handcrafted by As You Like It
Soaps.
