Beautiful but simple shawl pin. Will work well on the WIP shawl,
Very nice little penannular. It was added to a lace knit scarf for a very successful raffle.
I love these end minders and I’m constantly urging other knitters and crocheters to try them out. Honestly, though, I preferred the previous versions, which were made with a much more durable 3d-printed polymer. I liked the *idea* of adding a little cedar to each project as a moth deterrent, but the part that holds the yarn snuggly in place on these wooden ones is very thin and weak. Which means if you do not remove the end minder slowly, carefully, and super-delicately, that part is likely to break off, making that end minder a 1-project use product. Even though I discovered this issue shortly after receiving these and I am now extra careful when removing them, I’ve still had four of them break on me in the last 2 months (out of a total of 11 uses). Meanwhile, my original plastic versions are still going strong years later. Still, I do think it’s worth essentially $1.50/project to not have to contend with a tail that’s always getting in the way and causing tangles, frustration, and irritation.
I have a few silver and nickel pins but this one will go with many of my shawls. Beautifully crafted.
I received my tags and love them! They are nicely made and I cannot wait to put them on some of the projects I am working on now.
These are a perfect size and very light weight -- so adorable
This is so pretty, the celtic button has a beautiful glow!
These end minders are so cute and useful. The cedar wood is great. Hope they make more designs in the cedar wood
Love these end minders. They are so useful and well made. Love the cedar wood. I hope they make more designs.
The quality is outstanding. I would love to have earrings to match my pin.
This is a lovely pattern and is just what a needed for the yarn
A great match
Crafty Butterfly end minders are very handy for both knitting (holding the tail end after a cast on) and spinning (keeping the end of the strand from unwinding during down times). Massively useful...and the cedar smells good \(^-^)/.
Very pretty and delicate. I purchased this as a gift to go with the shawl I made for a friend. I think she’ll like it!
This is a really beautiful piece and is really not too big, so I will be able to use with many beautiful things.
The Deathly Hallows shawl pin was absolutely awesome!! I had an idea for one ages ago, but could never find one until this one! I made myself a shawl for a wedding I attended, and it was the reason I ordered the pin. It was so cute and kept my shawl in place for the entire wedding. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful piece!!
These are just the cutest lightweight earrings, perfect for any knitter or crocheter…or snail lover. Genius design!
I love, love, love these!!!!!! Only one tiny thing bugs me, they don’t seem to lock the yarn in and hold it as well as the plastic ones I’ve bought and used. Tried a different way to lock this last time it fell out and that seems to be working better for now.
What a wonderful shawl to make . It worked up fairly quickly and allowed me to add some new skill sets to my new knitting adventure!
Love these little guys! Perfect to keep those pesky ends under control!
The bad: These are really small. You can’t wind more than a foot of yarn if that. I can fit more on a a bread clip. Might be more useful for embroidery thread. The good: The delivery was fast, and all but 1 of the imperfections were minimal.
On top of being cutely hilarious, these are also very well made. I purchased as a gift for a sassy knitter - she's going to love them!
These cedar wooden carved yarn tail holders seemed like a perfect solution to those dangly ends. In fact, I ordered two types Sheep and cat;
Unfortunately, the sheep broke almost immediately at the join . (head broke off - unrepairable). Seems like the cat would be more sturdy since it was one solid piece but I haven't tried those yet. .
In general my advice would be to watch for "Sturdiness" should I want to buy again.
I LOVE my end minders. I have the plastic butterfly ones already that I had to have the cedar ones when they came out, as I tend to have issues with moths at home. They’re perfectly smelly and work so well. Since starting to use them, I haven’t had any moth issues with my WIPs, so definitely recommend.
