Needles, notions, Namaste.

A new shipment of bags and cases has just arrived from Namaste, and just like that: the shop is newly stocked with brightly colored project bags that are well-pocketed, sturdy, and spacious enough to double as purses. Meet Harlow, the latest from Namaste. Along with the Harlow bags, we also got a trio of smaller … [more]


Lantern Moon bags.

A small box filled with small silk bags came from Lantern Moon last week. Anne strung them up on the wall, which has become our default eye-pleasing and space-saving method for displaying bags. These Lantern Moon bags are narrow and long, and I think would happily accommodate a small scarf project on straight needles, or … [more]


Goknit project bags.

We replenished our supply of Goknit project bags this week at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop. These colorful, lightweight drawstring bags have been favorites for both practical and aesthetic purposes. They look so appealing all together, in fact, that we put them right up on the wall. We have two sizes available, the better to accommodate … [more]

From Lantern Moon.

Several times we’ve ordered these small drawstring project bags from Lantern Moon, embroidered with frolicking sheep. Several times we’ve sold out of them quickly.

Lantern Moon bags.

We got a box from Lantern Moon this week, filled with special things: a few sets of their ebony needles, rosewood Sox Stix, and, most alluringly, bunches of bags. Some are small project bags, for safely stowing your knitting away, and perhaps even tucking into a purse or tote along with all the other things you … [more]
