I have a few favourite tools from KnitPicks<\/a> that I use all the time and can highly recommend. (If you’re looking for a little something to push you over that free shipping limit with your yarn order, one of these could be just the thing!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"KnitPicks<\/a><\/td>\nSteeking Scissors<\/a>:<\/strong> My all-time favourites! These small scissors are ideal for snipping yarn ends. I have several pairs – they’re super sharp, and the sturdy cover makes them perfect to toss into your project bag without harm. And the fact that they’re purple is just a bonus!\ud83d\udc9c<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"KnitPicks<\/a><\/td>\nYarn Ball Winder<\/a>:<\/strong> If you don’t have a yarn winder, you’re missing out! It’s perfect for quickly rewinding partial skeins into a tiny compact cake for tidy storage. And any yarn that you buy in a twisted hank will need to be wound into a ball before you can use it – a ball winder makes that process go much more quickly.
\nMy ball winder review and tips >><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"KnitPicks<\/a><\/td>\nBirch Swift & Ball Winder<\/a>:<\/strong> If you need a swift as well as a yarn winder, this combo pack offers the best deal – the winder is almost free!<\/p>\n

Full disclosure, I haven’t tried this swift yet, but it’s very well reviewed and it’s what I plan to buy when my rickety vintage winder gives up!<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"KnitPicks<\/a><\/td>\nT Pins<\/a>:<\/strong> If you want to wet\/steam block your crochet or knitting, stainless steel pins that won’t leave rust stains on your previous work are a must. These T pins are the best I’ve found – they’re easy to use, last forever, and they come in a nice sturdy pack for storage. I have several packs so I can easily block even the largest shawl.
\nTip: Get the 40-pack for the best value!<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"KnitPicks<\/a><\/td>\nTape Measure<\/a>:<\/strong> I love a retractable tape measure – they’re so small and convenient; I use them all the time. Perfect for your crochet tool kit.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Dritz<\/a><\/td>\nKnit Picker<\/a>:<\/strong> This is a super-useful gadget for all your sweaters – it has a tiny latch hook that lets you quickly and easily pull any snags through to the inside. You’ll be glad you have it when you need it!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Soak<\/a><\/td>\nSoak Wash<\/a>:<\/strong> I swear by Soak Wash for washing my handmade projects and other hand washables – I love the Pineapple scent and also use Scentless when I don’t want a fragrance. It’s a no-rinse wash which makes it so easy to use – just soak, squeeze, and dry!
\nNote: Don’t be alarmed by the price – you only need 1 tsp per sinkful of water, so one bottle goes a very<\/strong> long way.)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I hope you’ll also find some of these must-have items useful! If nothing else, trust me and pick up those wonderful scissors – you can thank me later! <\/p>\n
