Great tutorial. I’m not a fan of written instructions so I was thrilled to see tutorials. I’m visual and you did an excellent job of explaining this little machine. Thank you.

[@beckyj5875]

Very cool. That would be a great tool for someone like me who can't knit cause of dexterity problems.

[@beverleyr2625]

I remember having the manual version of this bought me for my birthday when I was a little girl and it was called a French knitting set. You had to thread it up with the knitting yarn which came with it and then manually slip over each one of the 4 stitches/loops. Once you got into the rhythm it grew quite well, but this is so much quicker. I will have to look for one over here in the UK. Thanks for this demonstration, it was very interesting.

Great tutorial 😊... I didn't realize I could use beads… I'm so excited. just received my i-cord knitter...going to make a belt for a dress!! ❤😊 thank you so much😊

Your video looks so easy. But for some reason, mine bunches at the top and I end up with a ball of yarn

[@cindygottschall2241]

So does mine...

[@charlymelancon7775]

Me tooooo

[@amandajones6481]

Can you send it back to Art Beads for a refund? It's an expensive tool so they should definitely give you your money back if it doesn't work. Cheers from Amanda Jones, a fellow beader in Melbourne, Australia

Becky, thank you for trying it with wire. I’m disappointed it didn’t work, but I’m not surprised. It’s still a cool tool for yarn and thread!

[@abbeyp8834]

Does anyone know what size yarn shes using? I would love a link to that pretty ombre yarn she is using,

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

Great little icord maker

[@estrescreativorumis]

thanks for the explanation 🎉

[@jennygabbard6421]

You can also use a double sided Tunisia hook and do the same method as the knitting needles.

[@abbeyp8834]

Have you ever made a rug? Or the cute letters? Great video❤ I love the way you explain everything! I just purchased mine (Amazon $72 CAD)😮 it should be arriving on Monday super excited 😁

Hello everyone does anyone know what size beads you can use, as it's not mentioned in the video loved watching this.

[@TraceyStuart-mh9gi]

Can you use worsted weight yarn?

[@gailbailey603]

It really comes out nice when you add any bead. Can you add even 15th? Or is the limit like the smallest when you use is an 11? It is really pretty. You did a really cool job and thank you for showing us how it works. Thank you.

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

If the 15 size fits on your cord and fits through the center hole, I don't see why you couldn't use them!

[@teachaslplan1]

My regular yarn doesnt do well that doesnt come down after knitting. Is it too thick? Should i buy thinner yarn?

[@raylyndewoody270]

That’s what is exactly what’s happening to me! The yarn just gets all tangled up.

[@expressivecardsngiftsbykim]

I cannot get mine to work no matter what I do. I keep the weight hanging and I go slow and it just balls up on top. Any suggestions?

[@TsuziQMadeinTaiwan]

How do you connect two different i-cord with different colors?

[@starrspoter]

but can only use thin stuff i want to try some with wire

[@EmilyShady-g5x]

Does anyone know how to join on cord seamlessly with another cord? I am stumped!!

[@susanroberts]

What can you do with these long cords. I’ve done corking for years but never knew what to do with them other than sew them in a round to make carpets or oval throws. Can you do anything else?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Hi Susan! I made a coaster with one, a bracelet with another, and I made a beaded cord that I used in a bracelet. They could also make cute headbands, I think they would be nice potholders as well. Here is a blog post with some inspiration for using them: artbeads.com/blog/tulip-i-cord-knitter-how-to-use-jewelry-craft-inspiration/

[@susanroberts]

@@ArtbeadsVideos Thank you. 💝🥰

[@debracannon8572]

Will this work with fine wire?

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Great question! I have not tried it with wire, but I will try it today and get back to you with results! - Becky

[@debracannon8572]

Thanks so much❣️

[@susanroberts]

I’m interested in that answer as well. Great idea!!! 💝🥰🤗

[@maxie2451]

I want to know too. I’m looking forward to your answer…

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

@@debracannon8572 I just tried to use this tool with 30 gauge wire and I wouldn't recommend it. My first attempt was a jumbled mess and the second attempt, the wire actually snapped and broke from the hooks and latches pulling on the wire. I also tried to use 24 gauge wire and that wire was too thick, the tension on the tool felt like it might break something. - Becky

[@cynthiacupler8005]

I make a head band,by spool+ my hand.

[@JustME-ft4di]

Can you use it with thin wire?
