A bespoke tool for creating knitted cord.
Designed by a maker, for makers.
Enter, the Cordsmith. This simple tool allows you to create a row of i-cord with a single movement, replacing three knit stitches and the time it takes to slide your stitches back to your working needle again.
Yes, it really is that fast and it’s easy enough that kids can use it too!

How do I get it started?
It's recommended to get starting with this video (pinned on my Instagram profile) for how to cast on:
The first stitch or three can be a little finicky so don’t give up! Try using a yarn with a little bit of stretch to start. Cotton or linen aren’t as easy for beginners but can be used with practice. When you’re working, keep your working yarn loose and it will be easier to pull your stitches up and over. Once you’ve got a few stitches you’ll have more of the cord to grab which makes things easier! You’ll be zooming along in no time!
Each Cordsmith is made for you by hand in Ohio.
