Prym Stitch Protectors, 12.5cm, in a pack of 2 units, reference 081262 K, are protectors for the tips of knitting needles, preventing stitches from slipping off the needle when the work is not in use. Prym is a German brand founded in 1530 in Aachen, the oldest family-owned industrial company in Germany, now based in Stolberg and recognized worldwide for needles, pins, buttons and sewing accessories. Placing a stitch protector on each end of the needle allows you to save a knitting project halfway through without losing stitches, unlike leaving the needle uncovered. It is a preferred option for those who frequently interrupt their knitting and need to resume work exactly where they left off.
