MAIN PURPOSE: Identify the weight of an unlabelled yarn
Wind an unlabelled yarn round the stick between the notches, side by side without stretching, and count the wraps: 1 inch or 2 inches gives the WPI that tells lace from DK from chunky. Leftover and hand-spun yarn can be matched to a pattern without guessing.

MAIN PURPOSE: Roll paper strips into jewellery beads
Slip the narrow end of a paper triangle into the slit, turn the handle and the strip winds into a tight bead around the 7 mm tine; dab glue on the tail and slide the bead off. Magazine pages become jewellery beads without the strip unwinding from a cocktail stick.

MAIN PURPOSE: Open jump rings with one pair of pliers
An open ring worn on the index finger with two slots on its crown: hold a jump ring in one slot and twist it open sideways with pliers in the other hand. One tool replaces the second pair of pliers, and the twist keeps rings round instead of pulled apart.

MAIN PURPOSE: Shape hand-knitted socks while they dry
A flat foot form, 220 mm from heel to toe: slip a freshly washed hand-knit sock over it and let it dry, and the sock keeps an even shape and opens up its lace or colourwork pattern. Hang it by the hole while it dries; print two for a pair.

MAIN PURPOSE: Build adjustable boxes for silicone moulds
Four identical L walls with one arm set a wall's thickness further out: rotate each by 90 degrees and every inner arm slides inside its neighbour's outer arm, so the four make any mould box from 60 to 180 mm square. Clip the overlaps, seal the base with plasticine and pour silicone or resin.

MAIN PURPOSE: Comb floating paint into marbled paper patterns
Twenty-six tines at 10 mm spacing on a 260 mm bar: drag it through paints floating on size and the stones break into the even nonpareil and wave patterns of traditional marbled endpapers. Pins pushed into a strip of wood bend and snag; printed tines stay straight and wash clean.

MAIN PURPOSE: Rule slant lines for pointed-pen calligraphy
A set square whose long edge stands at 55 degrees, the slant of Copperplate and Spencerian script: slide its base along a ruler and draw slant guide lines across a practice sheet in seconds, instead of measuring every line with a protractor.

MAIN PURPOSE: Mark rooms by touch at the door handle
Slips over a lever door handle, the one place every visitor's hand already goes: the room number stands 1.2 mm proud in large plain figures, readable by touch for blind and partially sighted visitors and by sight for everyone else, with no drilling into the door.

MAIN PURPOSE: Label shut-off valves for emergencies
Snaps round a 15 mm pipe next to a stopcock or valve and names it: MAIN WATER, GAS, HEATING. In a leak or an emergency, whoever is at home finds the right valve at once instead of guessing among the pipes under the sink.

MAIN PURPOSE: Label keys with a rewritable tag
A key tag with a recessed writing panel: write the door or locker in pencil, rub it out and reuse it when the key changes. The 2 mm rim keeps the panel off other keys and coins, so the writing survives a pocket.
