Knots in necklaces and chains. Remove a Knot from a necklace or chain

Necklaces and chains often get little knots in them and you can get those little knots out faster by putting the chain on a flat area, such as your desk and using a pin to pull out the chain without breaking it! Any sewing needle will work just fine.

You can add a drop or two of baby oil to help the chain move easily so you can get the knot out.

Comments By: Jenny This is my biggest problem - sometimes sweater fuzz gets caught in my chains, too. I've been searching the internet for a way to easily and safely untangle (or preferably dissolve) these ugly knots. Do you have any advice? TipKing says: Try applying hair removing creme on the knots of hair. It should dissolve the hair   chain necklaces Comments By: Joy Great tip - after struggling for hours, problem now solved
