These practical, attractive cases come in four versions to meet all your needle needs. Each version is constructed of soft, flexible, frosted vinyl which is finished with colorful cloth tape around the edges; each has a wide inner flap across the top to protect your tools. The seams are securely machine-stitched, and each of the four versions folds into a neat packet that would slip easily into a knitting bag.

Bindings come in red, Kelly green, black, purple, olive green, and pink; a portion of the sales from the pink-bound cases is donated to breast cancer research.

Knit Stick Sacks are durable, stylish, and practical—if there's a spill, you just wipe it off and no harm done. The colorful edge bindings are a pretty touch, and the size and shape of these cases ensures that you'll be able to take your needles with you anywhere. If you're like me, you'll want one of each kind to make sure that every needle finds a safe and convenient home.
