Embodiments of the invention are directed to a breakaway clasp and clasp components that may provide a quick release closure mechanism. The breakaway clasp may include a first clasp component having a coupling portion and an attachment portion; and an identical second clasp component also having a coupling portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portions may be configured to coupled to a portion of an article, such as a necklacomprisesce or bracelet, and the coupling portions are configured to releasably couple to each other, thereby forming a closure. Each coupling portion comprising two, identical hemisphere elements and a connecting section that connects the two hemisphere elements. The hemisphere elements and connecting section may define a receiving cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the hemisphere elements of the other clasp component.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a toy knitting device and a knitting kit including the toy knitting device and a breakaway clasp. The knitting device comprises a knitting body having an interior chamber in which a needle holder is rotatably coupled to the knitting device. The needle holder comprises a plurality of needles configured to move up and down the side of the needle holder as the needle holder rotates to grasp a knitting strand being fed into the interior chamber of the knitting body. The needle holder rotates by a plurality of engaged gears coupled to either an automated motor for automated rotation or a hand knob or crank for manual rotation. The needle holder comprises a center aperture through which the knitted product that is configured to receive an embellishment to be embedded within a hollow interior of the knitted product is inserted.

A double-sided fabric stacked with a continuous cord material in a predetermined knitting section. The double-sided fabric is knit from a face yarn by a flat knitting machine including a front needle bed, a back needle bed and a loop presser bed. The front needle bed includes a plurality of front knitting needles. The back needle bed includes a plurality of back knitting needles. The loop presser bed is disposed above the front needle bed or the back needle bed, and includes right-directed knitting pressing pieces and left-directed knitting pressing pieces. The double-sided fabric is further embedded with a continuous cord material, which is pressed into the predetermined knitting section by the right-directed knitting pressing pieces and the left-directed knitting pressing pieces to become folded and stacked in the predetermined knitting section.

An inorganic non-woven fiber sheet has a thickness T of 1 mm or more and contains shots derived from inorganic fibers and having a diameter of 45 m or more. The shots is distributed as represented by 1Y/X0.11. Wherein X represents a total weight of the shots in the inorganic fiber sheet per unit area/a total weight of the inorganic fiber sheet per unit area, and Y represents a weight of the shots per unit area included in the inorganic fiber sheet from which a portion having a thickness t and satisfying 0ts is removed, 0.10 mms0.55 mm, with a wire side surface as a reference surface/a weight per unit area of the inorganic fiber sheet from which the portion having the thickness t is removed with the wire side surface as the reference surface.
