Cork

Simple and elegant, this project bag is the perfect home for your essential notions and 'work in progress' knitting projects.

Handcrafted in Portugal from natural cork leather, this wide zip pouch has a large inner pocket to store your knitting tools and accessories.

It measures 20cm (8 inches) tall, 36cm (14 inches) at its widest point and stands on its own with a 12cm (5 inch) deep flat base. It comfortably holds a medium-sized 4-5skein project, such as a light cardigan or scarf. Each bag comes with a detachable wrist strap for easy carrying.

Cork is a sustainable and cruelty-free material, lightweight, waterproof and durable. Cork harvesting is a complex and fascinating process, almost like a ritual, carried out by specialists as it takes a lot of experience and manual skill to harvest the cork without harming the tree. The cork fabric of these bags comes from a tree that is at least 43 years old and is ready to double its age or more!

As it is a natural wood product, the pattern and texture can vary slightly, making each item unique.

Please note that tassels are sold separately as optional add-ons.

You can add a bit of soap to the water mixture if just water isn't enough. Alternatively you can also use baby wipes. Let it dry naturally and in a horizontal position so that it keeps its shape.

[#other]For the yarn: hand wash in cold water, lay flat to dry. For the bag: as cork is a natural wood material, it can be susceptible to some cracking with long-term use. Applying cork sealant to the exposed cork helps to prevent it from drying out. We don't do this to our personal cork bags as we find that they uphold quite well, but if you live in a dry climate or feel that it's getting dried out, give cork sealant a try. You can find it in most shoe shops that carry cork footwear, like Birkenstocks or on Amazon.[/other]

Be free to leave your unfinished project on the coffee table without the chaotic mess! Our Nook baskets offer a practical solution to store your knitting/crochet WIP project while integrating beautifully with your home decor. Made from all natural woven cotton rope, they feature stylish accents made from the same cork as our cork knitting accessories. We've incorporated magnets under the lid (aka the "Notions Nook"), conveniently marked, that allow you to keep your notions neatly tucked in our matching cork magnetic notions cases (sold separately). These baskets are low and wide, offering generous space to fit up to a cardigan or baby blanket.

These baskets are fitted with the "Notions Nook" by us by hand, so please allow up to 5 business days in additional processing time for your order.

We also offer just the baskets, without the magnetic component and we've sized them to cozily fit our Notions Clutch.

In addition to cork, we also offer two leather alternatives with whiskey or chocolate accents, to match our magnetic leather notions cases.

Tool Fit

Each basket has 5 magnetic spots under the lid to fit up to 5 notions cases:

1) Maple tape measure (please note that only tape measures with enough metallic content will stick to the magnet). This spot is reinforced with two magnets to help, as the tape measure is heavier and can slip off more easily.

2) Scissors sheath

3) Stitch markers case

4) Tapestry needles slip (one spot can hold 2 of these)

5) Cable needle case

All spots (except the tape measure) are identical in magnetic pull and can be used interchangeably with any of the notions cases (ie you can place an extra pair of scissors in place of a cable needle case for example).

Keep your tools organized on beautiful display with this unique cork notions tray. Handcrafted in Portugal from quality sustainably harvested cork, this little tray is ideal for keeping your notions on your tabletop without the disarray.

The inner bowl shows the gorgeous cork in its natural beauty, while the outer shell is dyed a subtle light grey with all natural vegetable dyes. We've adorned them with our T&M maple leaf emblem on the front :)

Cork is an ultra durable, long-lasting material, water-resistant, lightweight and easy to clean. Best of all, it's 100% sustainable and biodegradable. It is harvested from the bark of an oak tree without damaging the tree itself. A single oak tree lives up to 200 years and can be harvested more than 16 times! Portuguese cork meets the highest standards of quality and is harvested responsibly, with local laws stipulating that a harvested oak be left untouched for 9 years to flourish and regrow its bark. These impressive oaks grow to be enormous and help to clean the air, making cork production very environmentally friendly.

Beauty, function and sustainability! It's a win win win!

These compact zip pouches are great for safekeeping your essential notions or tiny bits. Each one is handmade by Portuguese artisans from the highest quality local cork fabric.

Cork is a sustainable and cruelty-free material. Did you know that cork production actually cleans the air? A harvested oak is by law left for 9 years to regrow its bark, thus allowing a single tree to produce multiple harvests, while staying undamaged. During this time, the tree absorbs up to five times more CO2.
