Save your snagged sweaters with this little gadget

Tweet

I love to wear sweaters. I don't like getting snags in them though. Unfortunately, many things will cause snags & we can't prevent them all. Years ago, I was introduced to a little gadget called a knit-picker. It could easily repair snags in your clothing, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere for years. Because I remember how it worked, I wanted to pass along some information that will help you repair your snagged sweaters (or other clothing) instead of having to throw them away. If you've ever used a needle threader, as I've attached below, you'll soon see just how easy it is to make these repairs as long as the snag isn't too bad. Unfortunately, it only works for minor snags and on loose weave materials. Notice the little wire at the tip of the needle threader. While it's primary use is in helping thread a needle, it's flexibility helps make it useful for pulling loose strings thru to the inside of the sweater. All you have to do is push the wire thru the material as close as possible to the snag. Be sure to push it thru from the inside, then you just tuck the snagged string thru the wire & pull thru to the inside. Voila! Instant & easy repair for less than $1. :)
