A Corking pin is a tiny metal pin used to keep the strands of knotted cord together when corking. However, there are alternatives to Corking pins that serve the same purpose. Some synonyms for Corking pin include T-pins, Knitting pins, Sewing pins, Beading pins, and Toil pins. T-pins are made of thin, long metal pieces with wide pin heads at one end. Knitting pins, also known as stitch markers, are commonly used in knitting to mark the beginning and end of a row. On the other hand, Beading pins often have flat heads that are ideal for beading projects. Regardless of which alternative you use, the purpose remains the same- to anchor the strands of cord in place.
