"We've fallen hard for laser-cut boxes by Hannah's Ideas in Wood"
A yarn bowl with a built in needle sizer -- what could be more useful than that? If you have ever struggled to find your needle gauge, this is a great solution.
Good to know:
- The wood that Hannah uses is sustainably harvested and local to Pennsylvania (as is she!)
- The box is cut out with a laser, so those black edges are actually burned black. Leaving the edges black creates a beautiful two-tone design aesthetic that she likes to use as a functional accent. The pieces of the box are sanded and oiled by hand. She uses boiled linseed oil, a classic finish for wood. The linseed oil seals the wood and brings out its own naturally beautiful color. The box is pressed together, so there is no need for glue.
- The box is a nice size for stashing needles, buttons, and other notions when you're not using them.
- The wood grain of each box is going to be different and unique - that's one of the beautiful things about working with a natural material!
- The outside of the box is 6" x 5" x 5.25"
- The inside of the box is 5" x 4.5" x 4.75"
- One average yarn cake can sit inside the box. One of the sides of the box has a slot for your yarn to come through, the other side has a built in needle sizer, and a 4" ruler.
Yarn Box/Tote Box:
- The outside of the box is 8" x 5" x 5.25"
- The inside of the box is 7" x 4.5" x 4.75"
- Two average yarn cakes can sit inside the box next to each other. One of the sides of the box has a slot for your yarn to come through, the other side has a built in needle sizer, and a 6" ruler.
- A carry handle to bring your yarn with you wherever you go (Tote Box only).
