Everyone needs a tote or two – big or small – to keep your favorite tools and projects tidy and handy.

Our other favorite accessory cases are these charming fair-trade felt pouches. They’re great for holding all your little notions handy and the thick wool felt keeps needles, scissors and other little sharp items safely tucked away. Makes a great gift for non-knitters too as these are a lovely little clutch purse no matter what you need to carry!
