Lace and Knotting Tools

Tatting Needles

Tatting is an old technique dating back to the early 19th century for creating lace from a series of knots and loops. The delicate lace makes beautiful collars, decorative doilies and exquisite bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

Anyone who enjoys tatting will appreciate the Tatting needles and Tatting shuttle that the Pony range offers to create these beautiful pieces of art.

Maria A. G. de Cuadros is a Brazilian lady living in Villach, Austria. She is married, mother and teacher of languages and textile arts. Since she was young she has always liked handicrafts and learned the frivolite/tatting technique about 20 years ago. Ever since it has been her biggest passion in textile arts and in 2013 she started teaching tatting. Maria has a YouTube channel called “Carinho em Nós – frivolité, chiacchierino, tatting”, with more than 100 free tutorials on the technique.

See immediately without bothersome working out, the number of stitches and the rows you need to obtain the required width and length of the garment to be knitted based on your knitted swatch.

Point Protectors for DPN's

An excellent way to securely store and protect your double-pointed knitting needles. These clever Point Protectors come in a softly rounded bell shape and prevent stitches from slipping off the needles. Held together by elastic, these point protectors sit on each end of your needles, with the tension from the elastic cord pulling them together and keeping them firmly in place. They can be used for both 15 cm and 20 cm needles as the elastic band adjusts accordingly. A brilliant way to protect your needles when you're knitting on the go, or to store your needles when not in use.

Knitters needles

For sewing knitted pieces together, running in yarn tails and for adding surface decoration on knitted pieces, this tapestry set of long, large-eye needles with rounded points comes in handy, especially when using thicker yarns. The wool needle set, consisting of one tapestry and one chenille needle, is a favourite for knitters who like to work with a sharp pointed needle.

Wool needles

The unique design of this needle, with flexible clear nylon loop, allows for quick threading, making it ideal for thick yarn and it also makes sewing in loose ends and joining knitted pieces together so much easier.

Bodkins

These long aluminium bodkins are another unique design with large, flexible nylon loops for easy threading and with ball point ends. They are perfect for threading elastic, ribbon or tape through hole patterns, casings and lace openings and the rounded points prevent the bodkin from piercing the fabric.

Stitch Holder

Separate stitches when knitting collars and cable patterns or when using different yarns. PONY Stitch holders close like safety pins and the secure locking design makes it easy to hold stitches without snagging your knit. The large stitch holders are convenient when putting the knit project aside to secure the stitches. Available in different sizes in brilliant colours and pearlgrey.

Circular Stitch Holder

Stitch holders are an essential accessory in any knitters’ basket and these circular ones from PONY are something exceptional. They enable you to knit off your row of stitches and hold them on the lockable stitch holder. When ready to pick the project again, simply knit back onto the needles.They are perfect for larger projects where flexibility is needed.

Row Counter

A row counter can be very useful, especially when working patterns or shapes where several rows need to be repeated over and over. It helps you keep track of the number of rows knitted and easily slides onto the needle. There are four different sizes to suit different knitting needle sizes.

Yarn Bobbins

Complicated intarsia designs can be a little easier when you use yarn bobbins. These enable you to work with several small quantities of yarn to prevent entanglement. They are also an ideal way to tidy up the wool basket and they come in bright colours in two sizes and in rectangular or fish shapes.

Knitting Gauge

Most needles come with the size marked on the shank or needle head but the knitting gauge is useful for checking the size of unidentified needles, including double-pointed needles and crochet hooks. The metric and US measurements along the edge of the gauge are also helpful for taking measurements on tension squares. As an additional bonus, there is also a handy integrated sharp blade which cuts yarn easily.

Cable Stitch Needle

Cable stitch needles from PONY help to keep cable stitches under control. They hold your stitches securely when knitting cable patterns and can be placed in front or behind the knitting. We recommend using a cable needle in the same size or slightly smaller than your working needle size. Choose from bent or straight needles.

Cable Stitch Needle, U-shape

The U-shape cable needle is a smart way to keep cable stitches in place on the curve of the needle – a smart idea especially when knitting with thicker yarns. The cable needle hangs down with cable stitches secure in the middle, well out of the way whilst you carry on knitting.

Pom-Pom Maker

Make furry Pom-Poms with ease using these Pom-Pom Makers. Comes in a set of three different sizes.
