If you typically wind more than three hanks per month, you should be strongly considering a swift, and this is great way to enter the market. I would strongly recommend this yarn swift to anyone considering a purchase, especially if you are currently using a manual method (like a chair or your partner) to hold your hanks while you wind.
This circular needle case is pricey; $78 is nothing to sneeze at. However, I have regained my ability to effectively organize all my circular needles, which I am grateful for, and I have not accidentally re-purchased a duplicate size since I organized my needles. I consider this case a good value for the dedicated knitter who tends to hoard needles and needs a way to easily and nicely organize them. DellaQ makes this case a delight to use, especially with the usage of fun colors and fabrics.
Boye row counters are a good option for the novice, budget-conscious knitter. They can get a bit heavy on the ends of your needles, and care must be taken to avoid accidentally jogging the counters.
Clover circular needles are generally my go-to needles for most projects. I love how warm they feel in my hands, and yarn typically slides right over them. Their blunt tip is perfect for most projects, as they won’t split plys.
While I love how light-weight and thin these are, I’ve relegated these stitch markers to the back of my knitting trunk, as I had too many issues with split yarn and paint flaking off the markers.
While I wish the magnet was a big stronger with a wider field of force, I imagine that the gang at Coco Knits had to balance a lot of design considerations when making the tray. I find it easy to use, and its simple but attractive design does mean that it gets left out. It has not become the end-all-be-all that I hoped for originally, but I’m quite satisfied with it and I do use it to temporarily store other tools I’m working with in the moment.
