Snag Repair Needles
By the Shibaguyz
It’s happened to us all… you’re pulling your favorite sweater down from the closet and oops, it catches on a spot on the shelf—SNAG!
Or maybe you’re the outdoorsy type and tend to walk a little too close to brambles or blackberry bushes—SNAG!
Perhaps you’re like us… just walking through the house and somehow your handmade sweater (crocheted from 7 skeins of $30.00 a skein silk blend in a one-of-a-kind dye lot that you totally adore) magically gets a—SNAG! GAH!! You totally have to fix it and quick, but what is the best tool for the job? A yarn needle? Too big, and the snag is just a tiny thing… too short to thread into a needle. Crochet hook? Overkill. And do you have the right sized hook for that yarn?
Clover to the rescue with the Snag Repair Needle!
This handy little tool is exactly what you need to fix that sweater so you can get on with your day. It’s as easy as inserting the needle next to the snag, wrapping the snag so the teeth at the top of the needle grab it, then gently pull through. TADAAA!
Have an end that’s worked its way out of the seam? The Snag Repair Needle will fix that in seconds! Just insert the needle back into the seam and let the teeth pull that pesky popped end back where it belongs. Nothing to thread! It couldn’t be easier.
Bonus Tip: Use the Snag Repair Needle to weave in the ends after you’ve finished your crochet or knit pieces and finish in a fraction of the time. You’re welcome!
The tool comes with 2 needles in different sizes so regardless of what weight of yarn your crochet or knit garment or project is made in, there’s a needle that will work for you.
Keep a set of these in your project bag and in your repair kit. Give your snagged sweaters (and any other crochet or knitted projects) a second chance. You’re going to wonder how you ever lived without it.
