This collection of general purpose tools includes the Fraser Cloth Cutters and Linen Testers. They are all designed to help knitters and weavers increase their productivity and enjoyment of their craft.
These magnifying glasses are designed to help in a number of textile related activities. Weavers can use them to help count the number of picks per inch as they weave to ensure they are maintaining the proper beat. These testers also allow the weaver to check their woven fabric for consistency and errors. For the textile worker or historian, they allow them to analyze unknown fabric to determine as much about it including ends per inch, picks per inch and weave structure. Many weavers carry one with them at all times just in case they come across an interesting textile and want to have a better look at it.
All three magnifying glasses are pictured above (left) ready for use and folded (right) down for storage (click on the pictures to view a larger image). All are shipped in a cardboard box and the Small (C) version also includes a vinyl pouch. The Large (A) and Medium (B) sizes are made of plastic with a single lens system while the small linen tester is made of black lacquered zinc alloy and has a double set of optically ground and polished lenses to increase the magnification. Both the Small (C) and Large (A) sized magnifiers have a base graduated in inches and millimeters to allow easy measurement. The large and medium sized are also large enough to use for general purpose magnifying tasks like threading needles and reading fine print.

Three sizes of cones are available for use in yarn cone winders. They can also be used in a wide variety of other crafts or projects including rockets, castles and anything else that requires a cone shape! (Click on the picture to enlarge).
The two sizes of cones shown on the right are made of heavy gauge cardboard and have been previously used so there may be some wear although all are still functional for their original purpose. Approximate outside dimensions are shown below. The inside diameter at the bottom is approximately 2 5/8 inches for the M-CONE and approximately 2 1/2 inches for the C-CONE. These cones are on an "as available" basis and may differ slightly in appearance as many have a colour band around the top and/or bottom. If requested, we will try to provided ones with matched colour designs if possible.
The cones shown on the left side of the picture are made of durable plastic and are available in Red, White and Blue and have also been previously used. Approximate outside dimensions are shown below. The inside diameter at the bottom is approximately 1 13/16 inches. They have a ribbed surface along their length to keep slippery yarn from sliding, a notch at the bottom to start the yarn and are in great "almost new" condition.
Note that yarn can be wound on the plastic cones using the Leclerc Double-Ended Winder and our Cone Adapter. They may also fit the newer Silver Needles Cone winder (SN200?) but we are not sure as we have never tested this.
Dimensions for both cone sizes are shown below. Cones can be stacked for storage and can be re-used over and over again.
As well as winding yarn, some ideas for using the cones include Space Ships, Lighthouses, Christmas Decorations, Cone People and even to make the towers for a castle project. Some Florists use the cones upside down as holders for wedding bouquets.
Note: While low in cost, cardboard and plastic cones are fairly heavy. The shipping price is based upon weight and not the price and shipping price per cone is lower as quantities increase!

These tubes are used to wind yarn on to to be dyed and have holes along the length that allow the dye to penetrate into the yarn (Click on the picture to enlarge).
The dye tubes are made of durable plastic and are available in a number of colours depending what we have available at the time. The tube is a uniform diameter of about 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) but the top and bottom are narrower/wider to allow the tubes to be stacked. We also have som of these in slightly shorter heights available. Please contact us for actual dimensions.
There are many potential uses for these durable plastic tubes in hobbies and crafting and they can even be used for dyeing yarn!
Note: While low in cost, the plastic dye tubes are fairly heavy and do not nest inside each other so the box to ship a large quantity can be fairly large. The shipping price is based upon weight and dimensions and the shipping price per cone is lower as quantities increase.
