[Nfb-krafters-korner] storage place

Mon Jan 9 22:03:25 UTC 2012

I really like to use the metal container that my test strips come in for my 
 glucometer.  It has a tight plastic cap that pushes up and it does not 
come  off the top of the container.  Not sure how big of needles it will hold 
as  it is maybe 3 inches tall.  Easy to use for me.

One thing I learned that works for me anyway, smile,  is to put needles in
medicine bottles.  Then put the bottles in my  sewing kit, smile.

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.

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
