Packaging notes (updated 12/13/2022)
I made the switch from plastic to tiny metal tins a couple of years ago, but recently had to switch to larger metal tins due to supply issues. The new tins are 15mL size (1 tbsp), so still good for a crochet/knitting bag, but they hold a LOT of stitch markers. They're also more expensive. Rather than raising all stitch marker prices to reflect the packaging change which feels super shady to me, I've decided to start offering all stitch marker sets with pricing to reflect purchasing both with a tin and without. You can hold several sets in just one tin. (Seriously so many.) Sets shipped without the tin will come in a small envelope. If you order one set with the tin and other sets without, I'll combine all sets into the single tin. Thank you so much for shopping with us!

HANDCRAFTED
Each marker measures about 3/4" (2 cm) tall by 1/2" (just over 1 cm) wide. Each is handcrafted with care and love from solid sterling silver wire by me, Kathy, a real artist and person: not a factory or a machine.
SET OF THREE: $15
SET OF FIVE: $25
This is my own original wire design for crochet stitch markers (or right side/wrong side marking in knitting, or marking beginning of rounds when working on dpns), much tested and much loved by all who try them! They stay in the work, are easy to pull and place again one handed, and are just generally an amazing addition to anyone's tool stash.
The shape is based off of popular locking plastic markers which I'm sure you see if you've used them before, but these have the added bonus of not snapping apart with repeated use.
ABOUT MY KNIT AND CROCHET ACCESSORIES
I'm a jewelry artist with nearly 19 years of experience, but also an avid knitter and crocheter. I started to make my own stitch markers and tools and through trial and error, I settled on what I liked to work with. Other people would see my tools and ask about them. First one local shop picked me up, then a second, then more shops across the nation, and the rest is history.
