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!

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

The simplicity of this design, combined with the luxurious quality of the leather and flawless craftsmanship, lends this tote its timeless elegance. Handcrafted in Ukraine from matte black Crazy Horse Leather and adorned with contrasting vachetta straps, it goes with just about anything! The straps are attached with brass rivets (without stitches, just like the bag) for a more casual style.

Inside, you will find generous space for your knitting project and accessories, including an ample inner pocket for easy access to your essentials. The inner walls of the bag are unlined, leaving the underside of the velvety leather exposed.

Its chic design, roomy interior and relaxed effortless style makes for an ideal everyday tote.

Each bag is handmade in Ukraine with our signature Crazy Horse leather, specifically chosen for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour and development of a unique patina.

Handcrafted from our signature buttery soft Crazy Horse leather, the Leather Envelope is the luxurious gift wrap your hand-knits deserve. Delight your loved one not only with a beautiful handmade garment, but a functional versatile gift wrap they can cherish as much as the gift itself!

At 8.5x11” (22x28 cm), this leather envelope is also perfect for safekeeping printed patterns, photos, or important documents.

And when you're ready to head out to brunch with friends or a breezy night out with a loved one, it transforms into a fabulous clutch, so you can hit the town in style!

If you'll be using the envelope as gift wrap for your hand-knit: hats, socks, mittens, baby items, and fingering-weight or finer cowls and shawls will fit beautifully. If you're not sure, here's a good way to gauge whether your item will fit:

1. Place an A4 (8.5 x 11") piece of paper on a flat surface
2. Fold your knitted item and place it on top of the paper, so that there is about 1/2" of white showing behind it on all sides
3. Measure the height of the folded piece. If it's 3" or less, you're good!

Each envelope comes with two detachable leather tags: one beautifully scripted tag reads "Handmade with Love" for the gift-givers out there. The second is embossed with the Thread & Maple logo.

It comfortably fits a medium-sized project, such as a cardigan, yet it's compact enough to sling over your shoulder as a stylish purse when running errands or dining out. Handcrafted in Portugal from premium local cork, this sustainable piece is not only luxuriously soft to the touch, but lightweight, durable, water-resistant, easy to clean and long-lasting.

Inside you will find a small zip pocket for your valuables and a gorgeous silky navy blue inner lining.

The bottom is fitted with little metallic feet, so you can set your tote on the ground without getting it dirty.

Did you know that cork production actually cleans the air? A harvested cork 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 than prior to harvest.

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).
