How to renew checked out items.
You can renew your checked-out needle and hook sets similarly to how you would renew a library book.
Rather than limiting the number of times an item can be renewed, we ask that you post a progress pic to slack with each renewal so that we can cheer you on and support you finishing your project.
To renew your items, update the asset tag on slack using the following format and attach a progress pic of your project.
/asset amt### Renewed check out on month/day/year by Name. Attached is a photo of the cool thing I’m making!
Here is an example
/asset amt999 Renewed check out on 02/01/24 by Pixie. I finished the body of my sweater and have started on the sleeves!

What do I do if I break a needle or hook? Or if I lose a needle or hook?
Some hooks and needles are inherently more fragile than others.
Bamboo is more fragile than plastic which is more fragile than metal.
Thinner needles are more likely to snap (bamboo/wood) or bend (metal).
Circular needles can come apart at the join between the needle and the cord.
Some pets really like chomping on needles and hooks, which can break or damage them. Store your borrowed items and in progress projects away from pets.
Please try to avoid breaking or losing needles and hooks, but we understand that sometimes life happens.
If you break or lose a needle or hook, update the asset tag on slack to report the missing or broken tool and tag team textiles using the following format…
/asset amt### Letting @team-ace-textiles know that the size # needle/hook in this unfortunately broke today.
Here is an example…
/asset amt### Letting @team-ace-textiles know that the size 2 needle in this needle set unfortunately snapped in half today.
If you can afford to, replace the broken or missing needle, please include that information in the /asset update
