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.

make this easier Comments By: Linda on 2004-08-25 The bay oil or cooking oil really helps! Also, do this in good light.   sounds great, but how do you wash the baby oil off the chain quickly and not leave a residue Comments By: Janet Spiegel on 2005-12-01 You are left with an oily chain. How do you get it off quickly? TipKing says: Just use some liquid dish detergent, it will shift the baby oil   What if it is your hair that is knotted around the chain? Comments By: Jenny on 2006-01-28 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 on 2008-02-15 Great tip - after struggling for hours, problem now solved   Thank you Comments By: Barbara on 2008-12-12 I couldn't get ny necklace off.
