Yes, that is another type of knitting stitch holder which can be used for
holding bobbins. I prefer the straight Aero ones (like a short knitting
needle with a small knob on each end joined by a long, supple spring).
Several of my students use the stitch-holders you describe probably because
they already had them for their knitting.

I have a strip of crochet my sister made me. The holes are big enough to
get Continentals through. For the spangled bobbins, I use something that
looks like a huge safety pin. I am told it is "normally" used for knitting,
but works perfect for holding the spangled bobbins.
Hope this helps .

I don't like the wooden slats with an elastic band either. Have to try the
pipe-cleaners. What do other people use to keep their bobbins in order?

I thought that when I saw another lady using them:-) I have bought quite
a
few of the stitch holders and also bought a couple of the wooden things
with
an elastic band to hook over each end and lay over the bobbins, but didn't
like those. The chenille straws are so much prettier and cheaper than
they
were.

Pipe cleaners! Sometimes called 'chenille straws.' What a good idea
for limited space, Sue :)

I also have used the stitch holders, but have recently found these craft
things (still cant remember what they are called:-) are kinder on my
spangles and also I can take a pair from either end where the stitch
holders
had to be emptied from one direction only.
