The latest in Needle Case Fashion

I have finally taken pictures of my roll-up needle cases!
That took a while. (embarrassed sigh) I am not going to post these on Etsy until I get back from vacation. I need to whip out several more. There are only 2 left at the Tangled Skein which makes me sooo pleased.


To the right is a purple flowered case in the closed position.
The case is closed by a loop of elastic which hooks around a lovely button. In this case a big silver filigree button.
One of my favorite parts of the cases are the buttons. It is delightful to pick out just the right button for the fabric.



















Next we have a close-up of the pocket construction. Each case has 19 pockets ranging from 1" to 3" wide. Each row of pockets has a labeling strip that the owner can label what size needles go into each pocket. Seams are sewn with a double needle for additional reinforcement.












Each case also has a hanging tab with 2 eyelets for hanging your roll-up case on the wall when you are not traveling with it. You can easily unhook it from the wall, flip the top flap down over your needle points, roll up and go.









Here is a brown, flowered batik needle case.


Both of the cases shown here are going on sale at The Tangled Skein this week, so if you want them call me quick or stop by the shop after Wednesday. They will be $35 at either location.

Snarl Design New Product Release

Needle Holders for the discerning Knitter/Crocheter/Crafter!!

Below are pics for the holders soon to be listed at Snarl Design on Etsy. This here is a sneak preview! You can find more colors locally at The Tangled Skein in Eagle River. I hang mine in my studio and find that I can actually find my needles on a regular basis. That is, if I put them away...or finish a project.


The holders are designed to be hung on the wall. Each holder has 37-42 pockets in varying sizes.
For example the Purple Batik case pictured here in the blog has these pockets:
4 3/4" x 4 7/8" (11)
1" x 4 7/8" (22)
7 1/2" x 4 7/8" (1)
3 5/8" x 3 1/2" (4)

Holders are 20-21"x 7 1/2-8" in overall size. They are made from 100% Cotton fabric and each pocket is lined with muslin. Pocket divisions are double stitched for strength and eyelets are 1/4" metal. There are 14 tabs on the side pre-labeled in US Knitting Needle sizes or you can request them blank, mm needle sizes or just not there at all. The tab changes would be if you request a custom made holder.

Below is a Fiddlesticks Holder.


Needles not included with purchase.

It was very humbling that I could find only 1 full set of double point needles to fill the holders for pictures. Somewhere in this house there are a whole bunch of WIP's full of double points, waiting for me to find them and finish them.

Something is Waiting in the Wings...

I have not dropped off the face of the earth as my blog would look like. I have been working on product development for Snarl Design!! I have an exciting project I am developing and will be out in the world by the end of next week. (nothing like making a deadline public) It is exciting & scary for me as it branches out of yarn into...something else.
