Clover Jumbo Tapestry Needles Bent Point 2 Pack By The Each– these are hands down my favorite tapestry needles of all time, and my favorite needles for weaving in ends. Importantly, they do not have sharp ends (which would split the yarn when weaving in ends), and the bent tip makes it easier to get between stitches.
Clover Lock Ring Markers These are the only stitch markers I buy. I don’t use any others (well, I will use thread or saftey pins). They are great because they work with crochet, can be used to hold a few stitches instead of stitch markers, can hold pieces together as you seam, etc.

I am also a huge fan of thick Tpins- you have to find these at a fabric store, but sometimes yarn stores have them now. I mostly use them for blocking, but they are also good for holding seams in place as you work.

Sweater Stone
Sweater Stones are a great way to remove pills from handknit sweaters- I have been using one for years. They are not perfect- they are a bit messy and only work really well on flat surafaces, but I prefer mine to electric sweater shavers
(which I don’t even own right now!) or Fabric Comb (which take a long time and I don’t think remove as much fuzz).
