The designer was inspired to combine her love of fabulous fibers with her love of jewelry, creating the MagKnit clasp. This beautifully engineered clasp is as elegant as it is functional. The clasp is designed to wear in the front of a necklace and it's magnetic, so it couldn't be easier to put on or take off. It can be used with single or multiple strands of beads, with bead crochet or bead knitting, or any other technique. The only limit is your imagination! This beginner/intermediate project includes step-by-step photographs.
