FAQs
What type of yarn works best with this spool?
Medium-weight wool or cotton blends work best for smooth knitting and consistent cord thickness.
Does this tool come with a needle?
No, the knitting needle or hook required to lift the loops must be provided by the user.
Is this suitable for children?
It is suitable for older children under adult supervision, as it involves working with metal pins.
Can I use synthetic yarn?
Yes, synthetic yarns can be used, though natural fibers often provide better grip on the pegs.
How do I finish the cord?
Once you reach your desired length, cut the yarn and pass the tail through each of the four loops to pull them off the pegs and secure the end.
Troubleshooting
Yarn is snagging on the pegs
Check the metal pegs for any burrs and ensure the yarn weight is appropriate for the peg spacing.
Knitted cord is too tight
Ensure you are not pulling the yarn too tightly after lifting the loops over the pegs.
Loops slipping off the pegs
Use a slightly heavier yarn or ensure your tension remains consistent as you work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the spool is straightforward: simply feed the tail of your yarn through the center of the spool from bottom to top, leaving a few inches trailing at the bottom. For maintenance, keep the wood clean and dry. Avoid submerging the wooden spool in water, as this can lead to swelling or warping. If the wood feels dry after extensive use, a light application of food-grade mineral oil can help maintain the finish and keep the surface smooth for yarn passage.
