Each bag is handmade in Ukraine with our signature Crazy Horse leather, specifically chosen for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour and development of a unique patina.

• your tiny leather tape measure (bottom left)
• a set of removable stitch markers (top left)
• leather tapestry needles slip for tapestry needles or cable keys (right)
• mini scissors - inside the top magnetic slip pocket

The magnetic hotspots keep your notions in place—even when you open it while it's clipped to your bag/belt.

To transform it into a free-standing tray, pop it open and pinch the side walls to help the leather fold outward, allowing it to stand open as a small tray that keeps your tiny notions easy to grab.

Two leather loops on the back let you thread the pouch onto a bag strap or belt, while the included metallic clasp ring allows you to clip it onto your bag for easy access. It’s compact yet sturdy enough to hold coins, cards, or keys when you’re on the go—because good design should work wherever you do.

You can purchase the Sidekick Pouch on its own, or select add-ons to create your own complete notions kit, including:

• mini scissors
• removable stitch markers
• tiny leather tape measure
• tapestry needle slip with 2 tapestry needles

These compact zip pouches are great for safekeeping your essential notions or tiny bits. Each one is handmade by Portuguese artisans from the highest quality local cork fabric. They are dyed with all natural vegetable dyes to produce these beautiful pastel colours. While they are soft and delicate to the touch, cork is actually as durable as leather, while at the same time being water-resistant, lightweight and easy to clean.

Cork is a sustainable and cruelty-free material. Did you know that cork production actually cleans the air? A harvested oak is by law left for 9 years to regrow its bark, thus allowing a single tree to produce multiple harvests, while staying undamaged. During this time, the tree absorbs up to five times more CO2.

As it is a natural wood product, the pattern and texture can vary slightly, making each item subtly unique.

The Needle Cozy is a compact leather sheath that keeps your needles and work-in-progress tidy and tangle-free. Designed for sock knitters and small projects, it fits needles from 4" up to 6" in length and works beautifully with both double-pointed and circular needles.

It features two openings: a lengthwise compartment with snaps where you can clip in your WIP sock, and a small window with a snap above it to tuck in your circular needle tips and coil the cable neatly. This clever design keeps stitches from slipping off while preventing tangles and snags as you move between knitting sessions, whether you knit your socks with DPN's or magic loop with circular needles.

A small leather handle allows you to hold the cozy securely or hang it inside the Flow Bag using its interior snap loop, so your project can hang neatly as it waits for your return.

Made for makers who like to keep their WIPs as organized as their stitches, the Needle Cozy offers a tidy, elegant way to store your sock-in-progress—no matter how you like to knit it.
