I also like working on fingerless gloves during the summer. fast and light weight. great for the hiking trips.

Cotton-Ease was discontinued for a little while, but we brought it back by popular demand!

I was working on a Doctor Who inspired scarf and needed to keep 6 balls of Wool-Ease handy for all the different stripes. The wine bottle bag worked perfectly!

You can have the right hook(s), stitch markers and a few smaller skeins of yarn. It’s a terrific organizer and for storage.
