For over a year I searched for a good replacement for the 'no longer available' vip control card. Alas the search is over. I spent many many hours thinking, designing and working out the variables. Getting the lines exactly the right width took the longest. At last it's available to you.
SPINNERS - You can now spin your singles in the exact thickness required for any designated ply. No more wrapping for 2 inches and measuring. Just place your single or plied yarn over the lines on the card until it covers one closely and wha la -- turn the card over and you'll know the gauge, needle size and yarn weight.
I often use the card after I have left the wheel for a while and want to maintain the same gauge as is on the bobbin.
KNITTERS - Ever lose that label band? Or put away some nice leftover yarn then wonder what weight it was? Here's your answer. Put a strand over the lines and move it until it covers a line. Read the wpi number under the line and then look on the reverse side to know what weight yarn you have.
Each 2 5/8" x 3 7/8" card is made of durable, laminated plastic. Included is a key chain, so you can hang this card or carry it however you like.
NEW!!!! We have a transparent card. This card comes with an info card and a keychain. The Universe will choose the color on your key chain.
Choose from a slightly metallic blue, pale green, creme or pale grey. We have moved to colored key chains.
