Thread counters, or thread 'hoppers', are a great tool to add to your needlework bag. The two needles are used for counting over on your fabric. Just anchor one needle, and start counting with the second needle. When you reach a certain number, like 10, 15, or 20, just anchor the second needle. Remove the first needle, 'hop' over the second needle, and count some more! This are fantastic when gridding fabric, counting out from the center, or marking your place. The two needles are held together with colored thread and joined with a beautiful set of beads. Available in assorted colors - pictured Thread Hopper is only an example, colors shown may not be available depending on thread/bead availability. Thread Hopper sold in quantity of 1.

from Canada on 12/17/2022 - Great for counting. This is a fantastic thread counter to use while cross stitching.....pretty too!
from Canada on 11/29/2022 - So useful I sometimes like to start my cross stitch projects from the top. I used this Thread Hopper/Counter for the first time in November 2022 and it worked perfectly. Yes, I would recommend this item.
from Australia on 09/27/2022 - So useful What a simple idea but as I do all counted cross stitch on high count fabrics, it’s perfect.
from United States on 09/08/2022 - Perfect count the first time No more count, then recount, lose count half way thru, start over, get interrupted, start over. Nope, with these no matter how sharp your eye sight isn’t or how small the count is, your count is right the first time, every time. Mark the beginning and the end, you will know exactly where your starting point is. Stitching is about accuracy. This is the tool. Love it.

from United States on 10/13/2021 - Very handy I do a lot of counting before I begin a big cross stitch pattern so the MBT-Hopper is great. Much better than recounting if I lose my place.

from United States on 09/28/2020 - Thread Hopper/Trhead Counter I saw someone use this on YouTUbe and thought it was a clever idea. I purchased two of these and keep it on my table when stitching. Great device to double check that you are on the same line when items are separated on the chart. Very useful. 123Stitch is a great company to deal with, good customer service and communication.
