- wrap yarn around the sheep and over the yarn end

- when only about an inch of yarn is left press it into the the slot behind the neck

- the closer the sheep is to the work, the better

So cute and useful

Love these end minders. They are so useful and well made. Love the cedar wood. I hope they make more designs.

Love Crafty Butterfly end minders

Crafty Butterfly end minders are very handy for both knitting (holding the tail end after a cast on) and spinning (keeping the end of the strand from unwinding during down times). Massively useful...and the cedar smells good \(^-^)/.

Love these little guys! Perfect to keep those pesky ends under control!

Choose wisely

These cedar wooden carved yarn tail holders seemed like a perfect solution to those dangly ends. In fact, I ordered two types Sheep and cat;

Unfortunately, the sheep broke almost immediately at the join . (head broke off - unrepairable). Seems like the cat would be more sturdy since it was one solid piece but I haven't tried those yet. .
In general my advice would be to watch for "Sturdiness" should I want to buy again.

Adorable and functional

I LOVE my end minders. I have the plastic butterfly ones already that I had to have the cedar ones when they came out, as I tend to have issues with moths at home. They’re perfectly smelly and work so well. Since starting to use them, I haven’t had any moth issues with my WIPs, so definitely recommend.
