A multitool for use in fiber arts and crafts, including crocheting, knitting, sewing, quilting, weaving and the like. The multitool has a housing including a top cover and a bottom cover cooperating with the top cover to create a cavity for holding one or more tools of the multitool. The bottom cover includes one or more storage compartments and a rear door configured to engage the storage compartment(s). The multitool further includes a counter having a first dial representing the 1's place, a second dial representing the 10's place, and a third dial representing the 100's place, and wherein the counter is disposed within the housing, and an interior spring finger configured to secure the first, second and third dials.

A weaving installation includes a loom that receives a series of strands, and at least one device for measuring the diameter of a strand having a defined number of filaments. The device includes a diaphragm having an external ring forming a support on which a series of strips forming an iris are fixed. The strips are movable and allow a substantially circular space with variable dimensions to be defined at the center of the iris. The diaphragm is configured to adjust the dimensions of the space so as to allow a strand of the loom to pass through it, and to encircle the profile of the strand so as to allow the number of filaments in the strand to be determined.

A knot tying device is described. Embodiments of the knot tying device can include, but are not limited to, a shaft, a spring, a slide member, and an end stop. The shaft can include a slot for receiving a fishing line therethrough and trapping the fishing line between the slide member and the end stop of the knot tying device. When the fishing line is secured to the knot tying device, the knot tying device can be implemented to thread the fishing line through and around the fishing line based on a type of knot being tied.
