Crank out lots and lots of i-cord with the Tulip i-cord Knitter, a speedy device that turns yarn into neatly knitted tubes. Insert yarn into the top of the i-cord Knitter, then follow the directions to catch the cord on the four automatic hooks. Hang the included weight from the bottom of the yarn, then turn the crank; pretty soon, you'll have a handful of easy i-cord!

What's i-cord, anyway? i-cord is a staple of many crafts and a useful item on its own. Properly cast off (there are directions in the package) an i-cord has good strength and durability, and can be used to connect mittens to coats or to hang eyeglasses from necks. Plus, knitters and crocheters use i-cord as quick, neat foundation chains for their projects. Having an i-cord machine can save a lot of drudgery at the beginning of a big project.

Included in this package: the i-cord Knitter with four crank-operated hooks; a weight with spring-loaded yarn lock; a metal crochet hook for casting off and fixing snags.

Please note that i-cord knitting machines don't work with all kinds of yarn — use a tightly-wound, worsted weight or lighter yarn, without too many holes or irregularities. Read the instructions before you begin as improper use can damage the i-cord Knitter.
