Yarn Guide Ring

A yarn guide ring for stranded colourwork: a ring for your finger with one to four eyelets on top that keep each colour’s strand apart and the tension even, for knitting and crochet. Sized from your ring size.

Customise it in your browser, then download a print-ready STL, or a multi-colour 3MF. No CAD skills needed.

About the Yarn Guide Ring

A ring for stranded colourwork: one to four eyelets on top keep each colour’s strand apart and the tension even as you knit or crochet, so two-colour patterns stop tangling. Pick your UK ring size, or measure your finger.

What you download

Printing it

Questions

Which size?

Choose your UK ring size; if you’re between sizes, go up one, as it sits further down the finger.

Which printers and slicers does it work with?

Any FDM printer. The STL opens in every slicer; the 3MF keeps the colours as separate parts in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura. Pick your printer in the designer to check it fits the plate.

Can I sell what I make?

On Pro and Ultimate you can sell the prints you make, for example on Etsy or at craft fairs, for as long as your membership is active: if it ends, stop selling them. On Free and Maker, print it for yourself or give it as a gift. The STL and 3MF files themselves are never for sharing or selling.
