DTOFOOT 6pcs Knitting Crochet Loop Ring for Fingers Metal Open Yarn Guide Crochet Rings Adjustable Braided Faster Knitting Thimbles Holders Accessories for Crochet Mother Grandma Gifts with Box

Helpful rings to hold my yarn while I crochet! I originally bought one from Etsy but lost it within a few days, so I figured buying multiple would be smarter. Many similar sets of cat-shaped yarn rings include a bright yellow gold one which I didn't want. I received 4 silver rings and 2 black rings like the picture.Did not have a hard time adjusting the ring size, just bend the metal slowly. Tip for use - I've found that the size may need to be readjusted due to fluctuating temperatures and thus size of one's fingers. Be careful though, I stepped on one and smushed the "face" circle and now can't put a yarn in it. I'll need some pliers at least to fix it.I wear the ring on my left index finger with the yarn behind the tail of the cat and have it come out of the "face." Rotate the ring upwards for more tension, and downwards towards the palm for less tension. Beware too much oil or lotion on the hands, it will make the ring turn as the yarn pulls it.Something important to note is that the black color of the ring is actually a coating. The coating has a bit of tack to it so it doesn't slide as much on my finger, but it wore off just halfway through the course of making a shawl.

These rings are nicely made of a metal that is neither too thick or too thin. I did notice that among the matching pairs I received there did seem to be one that was noticeably thicker and heavier than the other. That worked out fine for me since the thinner, lighter weight ones were immediately claimed by my cat loving daughter as just regular jewelry. They are completely adjustable and have enough weight and thickness to them to actually retain the size you set during use instead of constantly loosening the way some other crochet tension rings I've tried are prone to do. That said, these don't work for tension control unless you use multiple rings together and thread the yarn through them in a way that does allow for tensioning, which I have done with great success. Also an excuse to wear them all at once, not that any excuse is really needed with these. They really are very nice looking and feeling rings. I was pleasantly surprised at just how nice these are. Excellent value for the price too, especially if you have a cat loving daughter that will want to claim a set for herself for the cuteness factor alone.

love the way it feels and easy to use
