Knitters Gift Guide - For Someone Special

We invite you to create your own bespoke needle organizer, perfectly tailored to fit your unique needle collection. Designed for knitters, by knitters, the needle binder offers an elegant solution to your needle storage needs.

The binder shell is the home base for your personal selection of 'pages', each thoughtfully designed to fit different needle types, from fixed circular, to DPNs or interchangeable needle sets. Pages can be added or removed by unclasping the snaps of the leather rings at the back of the binder. Keep all your needles together without sacrificing portability, as each page transforms into a neat standalone case to take on the go. Click here to see available page options.

The binder comes in 2 sizes: regular to fit up to 4 pages and jumbo to fit 5-7 (depending on the bulk of your needles/tools). The binder shell itself also offers ample storage with plenty of pockets for fixed circulars, DPNs, crochet hooks or specialty needles, all of which can be labelled using our coordinating leather needle size markers, available as optional add-ons. At the back, you will find a large zip compartment for notions, cords and other tools. Inside, there are two large inner panel pockets to keep your patterns or even additional needle storage by slipping in our Needle Holder Slip. The flap is magnetic for an easy, secure and satisfying snap closure.

Meticulously handcrafted from soft genuine leather, beauty and function are effortlessly intertwined in this heirloom piece.

As you open this beautiful case, it brings the feeling of calm and togetherness, seeing your essential tools of the craft laid neatly before you. Handmade from genuine quality leather, it feels remarkably soft and pleasant to the touch. Available in 5 stunning color combinations, you'll be hard-pressed to choose.

Our very first product design, the Notions Clutch is a compact stylish organizer for your most used knitting & crocheting tools, with specialized compartments to securely hold:

The top right corner is fitted with a discreet magnet, perfect for keeping darners & stitch markers from slipping away while working. With additional compartments to hold pattern print-outs or other notions, the Notions Clutch is a maker's true companion.

The Clutch is sold on its own, without the tools, so that you can choose to use your own notions if you wish. You can purchase the four core notions from our Notions Clutch Essentials pack.

We specifically selected this type of leather for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour, a unique patina giving it a sense of history and character. The soft leather easily shows signs of use, which is why each case comes with a small piece of wool felt that is extremely effective at quickly brushing away marks or scratches.

We called this The Boundless Bag, because it has become our most used tote, travelling from city to countryside to beach, its versatility is truly boundless! Originally designed as a knitting project bag, it unzips at both sides to lay near-flat to serve as a delicate bed for your large project while knitting on the go. Its ability to unfurl like this is extremely practical when searching for a small item within and the zips give it a stylish flair to boot!

Inside, you will find an ample zip pocket for your notions or small accessories, as well as two slip pockets for your phone and wallet. It closes with discreet snaps both ways, so that you can cinch it lengthwise for a more compact dumpling shape.

We've created this design in four different colors, one in a different type of leather. The Chocolate, Black and Midnight are made from the same premium matte velvety leather as our Notions Clutch. This leather is naturally thicker, giving the reinforced bottom more structure. This version nods casual luxury and develops its own character, as the leather has natural variegation and ages like a fine wine. A definite head-turner!

Meanwhile, the Almond is an iridescent pebbled leather, more svelte and malleable, decidedly more accepting of rigorous wear and tear. It has a consistency to its coloration, easily wipes clean and doesn't show marks or scratches. For moms on the go, this is definitely the everyday tote. Even when packed with diapers and soiled bibs, this bag will keep you calm and cool - and looking fabulous!

Choosing the right one for you is an entirely personal choice. We would urge you to consider not just the colour, but your style and intended use of this tote. If you're after a luxury boho style, welcome a more characteristic leather, or simply want to match your Notions Clutch, the Chocolate, Midnight or Black is for you. On the other hand, if you've got little ones with sticky hands and need a more forgiving tote, the Almond will be your trusty companion on your everyday adventures.

We designed this petite elegant bag to fit a 1-2 skein project, with an inner zip pocket and compartments that perfectly fit an On the Go and leather tape measure. Meticulously handcrafted from genuine quality leather, it's velvety soft to the touch.

These pochettes have a magnetic snap closure, for snag free knitting. You can even keep your tapestry needles handy by sticking them to the little “x” on the inner lip. Each comes with a matching wrist strap and you can add on an optional tassel as well.

Simple and elegant, this project bag is the perfect home for your 'work in progress' knitting projects. Handcrafted from the same velvety soft leather as our Notions Clutch and other leather accessories, its simple design allows the subtle marbling and beautiful colours to take center stage.

Its wide flat base and unique zipper shape lends itself to open wide, allowing the bag to comfortably hold a medium-sized 3-4 skein project, such as a scarf or light cardigan. Inside, it's a simple single large pouch, unlined, the back-side of the soft leather a richer tone of the exterior colour.

Each bag comes with a matching mini leather tassel and detachable wrist strap for easy carrying.

Currently, only the newest Whiskey colour of the Necessaire offers the ability to attach a shoulder strap.

Indulge in the comforting flavors of mulled wine and let them transport you to a world of relaxation and tranquility. Picture yourself cozying up by the fireplace, savoring a warm mug of fragrant mulled wine (or cider), while your knitting needles dance along the yarn. The subtle blend of spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, create a soothing aroma that envelops your senses and sets the mood for a truly enjoyable knitting experience.

Make traditional Gluhwein easily and quickly with this carefully selected blend of spices. Transform a bottle of ordinary red wine into a warm, spicy and aromatic holiday beverage to share with family and friends.

What's Included:

A decadently wine-colored:

• Leather Notions Zip
• Leather Scissors Sheath + Embroidery Scissors
• Leather Tapestry Needles Slip + 2 tapestry needles (John James)
• Leather Stitch Markers Case + steel ring stitch markers x15
• Leather Tape Measure
• Mulling Spice Kit (100g | 4-6 Servings) in a glass jar by Bushberry (a Canadian small business), including a brew bag
• 12Oz double wall insulated glass mug

Instructions:

• Pour one bottle of sweet red wine (or six cups of apple cider) into a saucepan.
• Add 2-4 Tbsp of our spice blend. To keep the spices enclosed, use a muslin bag or enclosed strainer. You can also add half of a sliced orange (optional) and 1/2-1 cup of sugar.
• Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Heat for another 30 minutes, but take care not to let it boil. You can add more sugar to taste.
• Remove the spice bag or strain the mixture, then serve hot.

Tips for Making the Perfect Mulled Beverage:

• To keep the mulled wine warm all day/night, warm it in a crockpot on low heat.
• If you desire, you can add sliced oranges and lemons, as well as cinnamon sticks.
• Always add sugar gradually, taste, and continue. You don't want it to be too sweet, but just right.
• Be careful not to let the alcohol boil, or it will lose its alcohol content.
• If you're making it safe for kids to drink, replace the wine with apple cider to make a spiced apple cider.

Have fun creating some special memories this winter with the mulled wine mix!

(And did we mention it smells amazing?)
