Resting Cables They are the simplest, most practical, and elegant solution for holding stitches in suspense while you knit. This system, increasingly used by knitters all over the world, replaces traditional metal stitch holders or leftover yarn, offering a much more comfortable, neat, and secure experience.

Its operation is very intuitive: simply insert the needle tip into the hollow end of the cable, slide the stitches, and remove the needle. In this way, the stitches remain resting inside the cable, protected, with no risk of being lost, and ready to be picked up again whenever you need them. When it’s time to place them back on the needles, the process is done exactly the same way in reverse, with equal ease.

It includes double stoppers to prevent stitches from escaping—so you won’t need to tie knots in the cables!

Available in three diameters, each identified by a color depending on the needle size you use:

• 2 mm (aqua green), recommended for needles from approx. 1.50 to 4 mm

• 3 mm (pink), recommended for needles from 4 to 6.50 mm

• 4 mm (lilac), recommended for needles of 7 mm or more

Each set includes one 75 cm cable, two 150 cm cables, and three double stoppers. And, of course, they come presented in a beautiful press-fit metal tin from our Budetex Craft Studio line, designed so you can always carry them with you—neat and well protected inside your project bag.

They are ideal for trying on garments while knitting, holding sections like sleeves or fronts, or simply freeing up your needles if you want to start another project. They are also perfect for those who work top-down garments and need to adjust measurements along the way.

Made of high-quality flexible silicone, they are soft, resistant, and durable, allowing stitches to slide smoothly without snagging or damaging the yarn fibers.

Once you try them, they become indispensable. One of those small but great inventions that make knitting even more enjoyable.

The listed price corresponds to one tin containing 3 resting cables of the same diameter and 3 double stoppers.
