Knitting and Crochet Notions FAQs
What are notions used for in knitting, crochet, and weaving?
Notions are the small tools and accessories that support your main crafting process, like stitch markers, tapestry needles, row counters, and cable holders. They help improve precision, organisation, and ease of working across various projects.
Are your notions suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Many of our notions are beginner-friendly and designed to simplify the learning curve. Essentials like stitch markers, measuring tools, and darning needles are perfect for those just starting out, helping to build good habits from the beginning.
Can I use these notions for multiple crafts?
Yes, many notions are cross-compatible across fibre arts. For example, scissors, needle threaders, and storage pouches can be used whether you're knitting, crocheting, or weaving. We aim to offer tools that are flexible and versatile.
Do you carry eco-friendly or reusable notions?
Yes, we offer a range of sustainable options, including bamboo or metal tools, reusable stitch markers, and zero-waste packaging where available. We’re always looking to support mindful making with tools that align with our customers’ values.
What’s the best way to store small notions?
Notions can be stored in small tins, zip pouches, or organisers like the Cocoknits Maker’s Keep, which has a magnetic wristband for easy access. Keeping everything in one place saves time and reduces the chance of misplacing items mid-project.
Do I really need notions, or are they optional?
While you can work without them, notions make crafting significantly easier and more efficient. They improve accuracy, save time, and help you avoid common frustrations like losing your place or untangling yarn.
Are these tools compatible with all yarn types?
Most notions are designed to work across a wide range of yarns. For example, our stitch markers come in various sizes to suit thick or fine yarns, and our needles are designed with smooth tips that glide through all fibre types.
Do notions make a good gift for crafters?
Definitely! Notions are thoughtful and practical gifts that every crafter appreciates. Whether it’s a set of beautiful stitch markers or a tool they’ve been meaning to replace, these small items show care and understanding of their craft.
How do I know which notions I need?
Start by considering your current projects and what’s been slowing you down, do you lose count, drop stitches, or struggle with finishing? From there, choose tools that solve those specific problems. You can also check our product descriptions for suggestions by craft type.
Do your notions work with other brands or kits?
Yes, our notions are compatible with most standard tools and yarns. Whether you’re working with branded kits or your own setup, you’ll find our accessories integrate smoothly into your workflow.
