Boo – The ghost with the pink bow Needle Minder

A needle minder is made of two magnetic parts that hold each other through the fabric: the enamelled charm sits on the front, the flat magnet behind the work. Park your needle on it while you change colour or snip threads, and it won't slip into the folds of the fabric or fall on the floor.

The same magnets will also pin a paper chart to a metal surface or to the edge of a frame. The little ghost with its pink bow is a Halloween-themed companion for your stitching, and it can live on the fridge or on your project box between one piece and the next. Keep it away from magnetic cards and electronic devices.
