There are two items that I'm constantly suggesting to customers, but don't carry. Those two items are Color Catchers and Scales.
I use both in my yarn crafting. I love weighing my yarn after a repeat and knowing exactly how many repeats I can do before I run out of yarn. Or after I finish knitting something and can't remember how many skeins I used, I weigh it and if it is 530 grams and the yarn was 100g per skein...that means I would need 6 skeins to knit it again!!! There are so many other times I use a scale too...it is just an amazing tool!!!
Color Catchers are awesome at collecting any color that escapes from the yarn when you are wet blocking. Just throw it in with the soak and color will be drawn to the Color Catcher and not depositing back onto other colors in your project! I find it most effective for hand dyed yarns or super high contrast projects!
