In the realm of crafting accessories, there exists a plethora of stitch markers: made of plastic, glass beads, or metal, some are even crafted from wool or yarn. However, wooden stitch markers stand out as a fascinating option. But why should wooden stitch markers be the preferred choice? Here are some considerations...
Environmental Perspective:
Wooden stitch markers are crafted from the renewable resource wood. Here at Atelier Marie-Lucienne, we place special emphasis on using exclusively FSC- or PEFC-certified poplar or birch wood.
Even in the embellishment process, we are mindful of utilizing sustainable materials, such as chalk paints from the Eco-Test winner and origami paper made from recycled or FSC-certified paper.
In essence, wooden stitch markers are generally environmentally friendly and sustainable – and those from Atelier Marie-Lucienne are no exception.
Weight Advantage:
An unbeatable aspect is the light weight of wooden stitch markers. When equipped with a resealable clasp, you can effortlessly hook them into a stitch without distorting the stitches (unless intentionally pulled). A risk you'd hardly consider with the heavier metal or glass bead stitch markers! Additionally, they remain manageable when carried on the knitting needle.
Versatility:
Stitch markers in general, and wooden stitch markers in particular, are indispensable companions for every enthusiastic knitter or crocheter.
They are used to mark increases or decreases, indicate the center of rounds, mark the beginning of a round in socks or other circular knitting projects, or simply assist with intricate patterns. Their application is straightforward – they are placed at the desired location in the knitting or crochet piece.
Wooden stitch markers can also serve as counting aids – strategically place them every 10, 20, or 50 stitches to effortlessly keep track.
And for crocheters, they can be hooked into the last loop to safeguard their projects from unintentional unraveling – here, the feather-light wooden stitch markers are really advantageous.
Conclusion:
Ultimately, it likely boils down to personal preference, but for those seeking a lightweight, environmentally friendly, and sustainable alternative, wooden stitch markers are the perfect choice.
Apart from being environmentally friendly, wooden stitch markers at Atelier Marie-Lucienne are not only lovingly handmade but also come in an impressive array of these practical, lightweight, and beautiful markers.
I hope these details assist you in deciding which stitch marker to use and make the unparalleled advantages of a wooden stitch marker for your creative projects apparent. Their light elegance and environmentally friendly properties make them the ideal choice. Happy Crafting!
