Desktop Accessories

Do you wish you had the easy access of a cup and the portability of a zippered pouch for your writing and crafting tools? Meet your new desktop companion! The unique telescopic design of our tool case allows for quick and easy access to everything inside. (And did we mention it's a perfect fit for a bunch of bulky crochet hooks?)

When you open the case, it transforms into a free-standing cup, as the top shell slides down and all your items pop up so you can see and reach everything with ease. Need to take it on the go? Simply grasp the outer layer, slide up to extend and zip it up to lock everything securely inside. Another neat feature is that it fits in most car cup holders, perfect for all you knitting/crocheting passengers.

The interior of the pouch is lined with durable cream-colored cotton fabric and has 4 slim inner pockets to organize your tools. The case can easily fit the full Boye Ergo Master hook set or a dozen extra bulky-grip crochet hooks.

Artisan-crafted in Ukraine from the highest quality genuine leather, this tool case is both beautiful and functional. It makes for a thoughtful and creative gift for a crafter or writer in your life :)

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.

This compact retractable tape measure is crafted from all natural maple wood and feels velvety smooth to the touch. It doesn't have a locking mechanism, which makes it very durable, but means that it coils back when you let go of the tape. It measures up to one meter (40 inches) in both centimetres and inches along a very flexible metallic tape.

This mini tape measure fits perfectly into the Notions Clutch. It features a delicate engraving of the T&M maple leaf emblem.

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 yarn bowl, re-imagined! We dared to be different with this unique design, to give your project a distinguished home :) Handcrafted in Canada from beautiful local Maple wood, this yarn box is roomy enough to fit up to 2 skeins and has internal compartments for your needles.

The lid has a felt bottom and doubles as a magnetic notions dish to keep your stitch markers and darning needles handy. It comes with a bonus mini phone stand to watch your favorite needlecraft podcast or tutorial while you work.

Handmade with love in Canada from natural maple wood, this phone stand features a magnetic tray to keep stitch markers, scissors, and darners on hand. The smooth concave of the tray allows for easy retrieval of tiny notions, while the magnetic bottom keeps them from scattering on your tabletop.
