A stitchbonded fabric having one or more nonwoven sheet consisting of cellulosic, preferably lyocell, fibers oriented multidirectionally within the sheet, and a pattern of stitches of shrinkable yarns that, after shrink-activating, gathers the fabric into a gathered stitchbonded fabric. The stitching has yarn overlaps over a technical front surface and yarn underlaps over a technical back surface of the nonwoven sheet. The cellulosic fibers provide a ratio of tensile strength in the machine:cross directions of the nonwoven sheet of 3:1 or less. The stitchbonded fabric unit contains 40% to 80% by weight cellulosic fibers, and 20% to 60% by weight shrinkable yarns, and has an MD:CD tensile strength ratio of 4:1 or less. The nonwoven cellulosic sheet and the gathered stitchbonded fabric therefrom contain a de minimis or no amount of binding fibers or adhesive material, to avoid interfering with the needles of the yarn stitching of the fabric unit.

The invention relates to a wool dispenser (2) for supplying wool yarn, comprising a ball holder (4) for rotatably holding a ball of wool (100) with wool yarn, wherein the ball of wool (100) is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (A) of the ball holder (4), and a base body (6) connected to the ball holder (4) for rotatably holding the ball of wool (100) on the base body (6), and wherein the base body (6) has a fastening section (8) for fastening the wool dispenser (2) to a body part (102) or object (104), and the fastening section (8) has at least one fastening means (10), which is configured to fasten the wool dispenser (2) to the body part (102) or object (104) via the fastening section (8).

The utility model discloses a knitting needle, and belongs to the field of knitting tools, the knitting needle comprises a first shell, a second shell and a third shell, a needle body is arranged in the first shell, the second shell is a semi-open cylinder, an extension tube is arranged at the top of the second shell, the bottom surface of the second shell is connected with the end surface of the third shell, and the needle body is arranged in the third shell. The first shell is matched with the extension pipe so as to be connected with the second shell; a fixing structure is arranged in the second shell and comprises a base plate coaxial with the second shell, clamping jaws are evenly and rotationally arranged on the edge of the base plate in the direction back to the bottom of the second shell, and first grooves are formed in the outer sides of the clamping jaws; by the adoption of the technical scheme, the clamping jaw can release or recycle the needle body in an opening and closing mode, then the needle body stretches out in the knitting process, the needle head shrinks and is clamped by the clamping jaw when knitting is finished or paused, disengagement is avoided, stretching and retracting of the needle head are achieved, and potential safety hazards in the knitting process are avoided.

The utility model relates to the technical field of articles for daily use, in particular to a sweater knitting needle which comprises a needle body, one end of the needle body is a needle head, and the other end of the needle body is a needle tail. The needle body is of a cubic column structure, a groove in the shape of an upward column is formed in the side, close to the needle head, of the needle body, and the groove extends along the side edge of the needle body; the needle head is of a triangular pyramid structure, and the side face of the needle head and the top of the groove are coplanar. The needle head is sharp and can easily penetrate into woolen yarns, so that the knitting efficiency is improved; due to the design of the groove, the needle head can conveniently and smoothly penetrate into the woolen yarn on the other needle body, and the woolen yarn can be picked down and turned over from the knitting needle; the needle is novel in structure, practical and convenient, and has high popularization value.

To provide knitting needles that are less likely to slip off the yarn and offer excellent operability. [Solution] A continuous groove in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer circumference of the tip of the knitting needle, allowing the yarn to be locked in place and pulled out during knitting. [Effects] It prevents the yarn from coming loose, reduces the movement of the fingers, and improves the efficiency and workability of knitting operations. Furthermore, the ability to secure and pull out the yarn without adjusting the direction of the knitting needles further improves operability.

A crochet assistance apparatus may include an optional securement device, a base, a guide assembly, and a tensioner assembly. The securement device may be configured to be secured to a support object. The base may be coupled to the securement device, and the guide assembly may be coupled to the base. The guide assembly may include a distal guide surface and a proximal guide surface, and the distal guide surface may be positioned relatively farther from the base than the proximal guide surface. The tensioner assembly may be configured to receive the flexible filament, so that the flexible filament moves through the tensioner assembly and contacts one or more elements of the tensioner assembly. The tensioner assembly may have one or more filament contact surfaces, and the tensioner assembly may exert a resistance to the flexible filament moving through the tensioner assembly.

A crochet hook cover includes a body made of silicone rubber. The body has a rounded end and a flat end, with a cross-cut slit formed in the flat end. The cross-cut slit extends along a centerline of the body to a depth less than the length of the body. The crochet hook cover fits over the hook end of a variety of crochet hook devices having a range of handle lengths. The elasticity of the silicone rubber allows the crochet hook cover to securely fit over a large range of hook sizes. The hook end of a crochet hook device can remain inserted with an active stitch on the hook end to prevent unraveling when pausing work. The crochet hook device can then be placed in a project bag, inserted into a ball of yarn, or laid on the partially completed work without risk of snag or entanglement.
