Also, please don't forget that rubber bands tend to melt over time......at least in Malta they do...probably it's the heat that does it. I had some lovely gold thread stashed away and it was tied with a rubber band to keep it from unravelling. When I came to use it, I found the rubber band melted all around it and I don't know yet how I'm going to remove it! Karen in Malta

I know that the silicone "Food Loops" aren't cheap, but they are a good quality KITCHEN product that shouldn't ever perish like elastic bands do & they are adjustable & easy to disconnect. I was given a set of 6 as a "thank you" gift for looking after a friend's dog for a few weeks when the owner was in America visiting family for Christmas at the end of 2005. I don't think I'll ever use all 6 at the same time while cooking, so I might keep a few in my lace box for when I'm using my Binche or square bobbins. I think my suggestion might have been more useful if I my brainwave had come before Christmas.
