[Nfb-krafters-korner] needle for super bulky yarn needed

[Cathy]

Thanks to all who offered tips and tricks on how to use the KK needle with
super bulky weight yarn. Also thanks to those of you who sent me information
about the correct sized needle I could purchase.

I appreciate all of the feedback.

I have purchased a package of needles today and knowing that I will
eventually misplace them somewhere at some time, I will always have your
suggestions as back up plans.

Thanks, Cathy

Cathy;
Did you see my e-mail about using the size 16 or above or the plastic needle
from the KK loom, all you need to do is to flatten the yarn or squeze it and
it will go in to the eye of the needle.  I have done it many, many a time!
It works with the thick and quick.

Thanks Neva,

Good idea, I'll have to try that!
Thanks, Cathy

I use a 1 inch square of heavy paper, like the paper your yarn label is made
of, and fold it over the end of the bulky yarn and poke it through the eye
of the needle. You can search for yarn needles and see if any have
descriptions that include eye size, but this works pretty well.

Hi All,

 

I am looking for a place online to purchase a needle with an eye large
enough to use with super bulky yarn. I want an exact make and name so that I
am certain to get  the right sized needle and eye.  

Any suggestions? I lost the wonderful needle my friend gave me and am
struggling because the needles that come with the KK looms have eyes not
quite large enough. 

 

Thanks, Cathy
