After spending lots of money on rigid thumb splints that I can't knit in, these are the most comfortable things I've ever worn. I only take them off at night or when getting my hands wet!

Thumb Stabilizer
Why the Pain Keeps Coming Back
Every stitch loads the same small joint at the base of your thumb.
Hundreds of times an hour.
Over time that joint loosens and starts to slide.
That's the click. That's the ache.
Rest calms the swelling, but the moment you knit again the joint slides right back.
This stabilizer holds that ONE joint steady while you knit.
Thumb tip bare. All 4 fingers free. The joint stops sliding and the ache stops building.

38 years of knitting and the last 2 years my thumb has been getting worse. Tried compression gloves, a rigid splint, and 2 from Amazon that fell apart. None of them let me actually knit. This is the first thing I can wear while I'm working. Fingers completely free, yarn doesn't catch on it. Wore it for 2 hours last night and the clicking was gone. Ordering a second one as a backup.

Skeptical because I've bought so many braces that didn't work. Most were too bulky or locked my thumb up completely. This one just wraps the base of the thumb where the joint has been giving me trouble and leaves everything else free. I can feel the yarn, set my tension, and knit a full evening without that grinding feeling. Took a few days to get used to but now I don't knit without it. Bought a pair for my friend Carol who crochets and she loves hers too.

Doctor told me to stop knitting in January. Stopped for 3 months and the pain barely improved. A woman in my knitting group recommended this. Been wearing it every evening for 5 weeks now. The ache that used to keep me up at night has calmed way down. I just finished a cardigan that had been sitting in my basket since November. My only regret is listening to the doctor instead of finding this sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I get?
+
Measure around your palm just below the knuckles. Under 18 cm (7 in) is Small. 18 cm (7 in) or above is Large. If you're between sizes or your hands tend to swell, go with Large. Still unsure? Contact us with your measurement and we'll help you pick.
Will it hold up or fall apart like the ones on Amazon?
+
The stitching and fabric are built for daily use. Most of our customers wear theirs every evening and they hold their shape for months. This isn't a cheap Amazon knockoff that comes apart at the seam after a week.
Can I wear it on both hands?
+
Yes. Each order comes as a pair so you're covered on both sides. Many women only need support on 1 hand but appreciate having the 2nd ready if the other thumb starts bothering them.
Does it work for Continental and English style knitting?
+
Yes. The stabilizer supports the base of the thumb regardless of how you hold the needles or tension the yarn. We hear from women who knit Continental, English, Portuguese, and lever style.
Is it comfortable enough for long sessions?
+
It was designed for exactly that. The fabric is soft, lightweight, and breathable. Most women say they stop noticing it within the first few minutes. We regularly hear from women who wear it through 2 to 3 hour evening sessions without any discomfort.
Does it work for arthritis at the base of the thumb?
+
This is not a medical treatment for arthritis. What it does is hold the thumb joint steady during the repetitive motion of knitting, which reduces the grinding, clicking, and ache that many women with thumb arthritis experience while they work. It won't cure arthritis but it can make knitting comfortable again.
Does it work for crochet, quilting, and embroidery?
+
Yes. Any craft that uses that same repetitive thumb motion benefits from the same support. We hear from crocheters, quilters, embroiderers, and hand sewers regularly.
Can I wash it?
+
Yes. Hand wash in cool water with mild soap and lay flat to dry. It holds its shape well.
How long does shipping take?
+
Orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping takes anywhere from 8 to 20 business days depending on which shipping option you choose and where you're located. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
