Snag Repair Needle: A specialist steel tool with a sharp point at one end and a textured end at the other. This needle has no eye. Insert the needle at one end of the pulled loop. Push it through until just the textured head is above the knit surface. Wind the pull/loop or snagged yarn around the textured end of the needle and then pull the needle right down and through to the other side (the reverse side of the knit). Never cut a loop or snagged yarn as this could cause your knitwear to come undone or create a hole.
