Yarn crafters: do these work for weaving in ends on knit/crochet projects?

Yes. That and "needle point" (on that plastic mesh) are the only way we use them. The eyes are way too big for most beads.

Yes! I use them for that in my crochet projects. The eye of the needle is a little wider. It takes a bit more effort to weave the ends in but for the price plus there's forty them, I think they work well enough.

That is exactly what I've been using them for in the past year. The needle is a little big for weaving in ends on fingering weight sock projects, but everything bigger than that works great!

Yes, they work fine for that purpose.They are thin, and somewhat hard to thread, but work fine.

Yes. I'm just starting out with crocheting too and I brought these as beginner hooks. They are great.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.

Jessyca, I've never worked with yarn, but I wouldn't think it would work very well with yarn. PearlEX is very similar to eye shadow or graphite powder.

i have not, but wouldnt see why that wouldnt work - i acutally purchased them to use as a craft - with fabric markersive dyed other things and i think that would work fine on these

I would recommend checking out the Project Library at www.emblibrary.com to learn how to machine embroider on these type towels. It can be done and mine have turned out fine. As someone below mentioned, I wouldn't recommend light stitches (open hand or machine embroidery) on these as the threads will get lost in the pile. A design with a higher stitch count will work perfectly. Enjoy!

Only place these really work well is on sewing thread. I certainly don't store my embroidery bobbin thread in these, because you don't use embroidery thread in the bobbins anyway. These would work well on hand quilting threads too. But why on embroidery thread?

HMMMMM..... I use these for just about every sewing/quilting job I have. BUT I'm using fabric, not satin cord or chain. You are concerned that they would crush the chain or cord? They should work great, but try w/ something not important first???

I bought them to sew felt together, but they did not work well. I ended up having to buy a different pack from Wal-Mart that had sharper tips.

I think I would be cautious. I have had a bit of trouble with them coming apart, thankfully nothing serious. The instructions for assembly were pretty vague. I'm sure there are better storage solutions for your yarn than these.

I use them on the hard clear plastic hangers. I hook one end in the lingerie slot on top and pull to hook on the end. I do not think they would work on the plastic triangle ones because they need an end to hook onto. I don't think they will stretch enough to hold on the rounded slick end of the triangle ones. They work great on the hard clear plastic hangers!

I imagine these could work quite well for kids toys as long as you don't put anything heavy in them. The range of sizes is good. The largest is surprisingly large, the smallest is rather small, so I bet between the four it would fit the items you described. They nest when collapsed and take up little space when not in use. I quite like these but have never used them for toys. I'm currently using a couple for my crochet yarn stash.

Only if the yarn is close to same color as the needles. For instance browns with rust and turquoise. Otherwise there is no problem.

Yes! I bought it for my teenage Grandaughter who,knowing she was getting one,bought heavy weight yarn to knit a scarf.Trial and error proved you have to allow space for yarn thickness by skipping prongs.After that,it worked out just fine. I hope this answered your question&helped you decide if you want to order one or not.I may get one for myself soon.This particular one is well made.

Yes, it will definitely snag knits. I use mine for files but when wearing anything knit (small or large gauge) like a long sweater coat, it catches when I'm brushing past. It is where the rope like material joins to another pieces there are knots to join the pieces and they stick out randomly all over. I would not advise to use this to store anything that can get pulls in it.

These are for crochet only, but Amazon has some really good books on getting started with knitting, I would recommend that maybe you look into one of these. Since I do not knit, I would not know what needles to recommend. Good luck..
