Every knitter knows the sound of needles at the bottom of a bag. A faint rattle, then a sharp little jab as you reach for your keys, and a half-finished sleeve with a stitch slipped off one end. A needle case will not knit the jumper for you, but it will stop that happening, and it will keep your needles together so you know exactly where they are when the evening’s row count is calling.
This holder is made from quality grey felt with a thin polymer coating on top. It is slim, about 27cm long and 4.7cm wide, with a slip-in design, so the needles go in and come out quickly when you want them. How many it takes depends on the size of your needles, so have a look at the photographs to see how it holds them. A clip lets you attach the case to a knitting bag or a workstation, which is handy when you are on the move or settling into a favourite chair. There is also a detachable, brightly coloured keychain to add to its beauty.
We make every holder by hand to order in our Suffolk studio, and you add your own message at checkout so that it is truly yours. It is not a case you will see in every craft shop, and we like it that way. A piece made slowly tends to be looked after for years.
It is a good gift for a mother who has been knitting since before you were born, a grandmother with a basket of wool by her chair or an aunt who is always making something for someone. It arrives in letterbox-friendly packaging, and gift wrapping is available.
