Secret Garden (Garden Walls) shawl zip
$ 50.00
-
Roomy, beautiful, with expert construction. My shawl zips perfectly fit a two or three skein project.
A Little Skein project bag is utterly unique. Most of the fabrics we use are original and exclusive to our shop. First, we work with an illustrator to bring a particular idea to life and print the design on substantial cotton-linen fabric (similar to a decor weight). Then, we craft our project bags one at a time, with an eye for detail, and finish them by hand.
My shawl zips are roomy and will fit three skeins, side by side, with room on top for your work-in-progress. We make shawl bags in two styles:
-
Squishy, with a fleece interfacing. This gives the bag a slightly puffy profile (like a quilted bag but without the quilt lines) and lets it gently stand open when empty, and mostly repel creases.
-
Stiff, with a firm interfacing. This bag is very crisp and easily stands open when empty. It will crease when folded, but bounces back nicely after being pressed with a hot iron.
I don't include a wristlet handle by default but am happy to make one for you. (See the "adding a handle" tab above for more details.)
-
-
Shawl zips are:
-
Are approx. 13 to 14" wide and 8.5" to 9" tall, with an 8" by 5" rectangular base.
-
Crafted with fabric tabs at the ends of the zipper, made of the coordinating interior print, for a polished and adorable look.
-
Made of 100% cotton and cotton/linen fabric.
-
Made with a "word ring" that can be used as a connector for other bags or handles.
-
Machine stitched with beautiful top-stitching and fully enclosed seams.
-
Created with love in a kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and smoke-free studio. (Our beagle pup, Molly, doesn't help with sewing, but she's around the studio so if you are highly allergic, please be aware that your bag will not be hypoallergenic.)
Each bag is carefully handcrafted, so you should expect there to be some variation in fabric placement, as well as minor variations in size or shape. Your satisfaction is very important to me. Please let me know if you're not completely delighted with your purchase.
-
-
I don't include a wristlet handle by default. (I usually just pop my project bag into my purse, so I find a handle to be mostly extraneous.)
If you'd like a handle, though, I'm delighted to sew one for you out of matching fabric. Wristlet handles are $5 each, and measure 9 inches long from tip to tip, with a 1 inch swivel clasp that clips onto the bag's word ring and a 6-inch fabric open loop.
Handles are sewn to order, so if you order one, please allow a few extra days for your order to ship.

Blank Canvas shawl zip
$ 45.00

Roomy, beautiful, with expert construction. My shawl zips perfectly fit a two or three skein project.
I'm delighted to introduce a plain, linen project bag that's absolutely perfect for your own adornment. Embroider on it, add a beautiful set of enamel pins, or perhaps add a favorite pin-back button or patch.
Blank Canvas shawl zips are made from a neutral oatmeal-colored linen. They are a bit smaller than our regular shawl zips, but still roomy and will fit two skeins, side by side, with room on top for your work-in-progress.
I don't include a wristlet handle by default but am happy to make one for you. (See the "adding a handle" tab above for more details.)

Sock School 2017 sock n' book tote
Sold Out
-
You'll smile every time you pick up this swingy little project bag.
I love this style of project bag, and it's quickly become my favorite "go to" sock knitting bag. It's a small, beautifully crafted tote, made from my signature cotton-linen fabric, and has thick, cotton webbing handles – perfect for grab and go knitting.
The size is a bit smaller than you might expect; it fits just a trade paperback book and a skein of yarn. I've compared the interior of the sock n' book and my standard drawstring bag in one of the photos to show you how adorably tiny the bag is.
-
Sock n' book totes are:
-
Are approx. 9" tall and 4" wide when the bag is flat (8" circumference), with a 3" by 5" rectangular base.
-
Crafted with fabric tabs at the ends of the zipper, made of the coordinating interior print, for a polished and adorable look.
-
Made of 100% cotton and cotton/linen fabric.
-
Machine stitched with beautiful top-stitching and fully enclosed seams.

Sock School 2017 sock zip

Original fabric, useful size. The sock zip is going to become your new favorite knitting bag.
A Little Skein project bag is utterly unique. Most of the fabrics we use are original and exclusive to our shop. First, we work with an illustrator to bring a particular idea to life and then print the design on substantial cotton-linen fabric (similar to a decor weight). We craft our project bags one at a time, with an eye for detail, and finish them by hand.
My sock zip will perfectly fit a single skein project, like socks. It's a bit deeper than you'd expect, so your first sock can rest safely at the bottom while you knit a second sock, and the width is perfect to slide into most purse/tote bags.
I use a light and lofty fleece interfacing on sock zips for maximum squishiness. This is a bag you can stuff into your purse, and it will bounce back into perfect form, all while keeping your socks safe and happy.
I don't include a wristlet handle by default but am happy to make one for you. (See the "adding a handle" tab above for more details.)

Spring Pig | House Sock
Sold Out
-
A robust, delightfully sproingy sock yarn, gently dyed by hand.
Our House Sock is a super-squishy, strong and robust fingering weight yarn that's absolutely perfect for socks. It's 90% American Targhee wool and 10% nylon.
You'll love knitting with House Sock. It has a strong twist, and the wool itself is bouncy and sproingy. The fabric it makes is strong and durable, and the resulting socks are exceptionally warm and plush.
Little Skein's House Sock
Colorway: Spring Pig
90% superwash American Targhee wool, 10% nylon
410 yards | 100 grams
3-ply constructionColor notes: Inspired by Charlotte's Web, Spring Pig is a gentle pink with undertones of pale lavender and apricot. There are sprinkles of dark brown randomly spotting the yarn, like a soft spring pig that's been snuffling in the rich damp earth.
-
House Sock is a very robust yarn. You might find that it knits up a bit more plush than other sock yarns, so you can possibly cast on fewer stitches. I usually cast on 56 stitches for socks knit from traditional sock yarns, but cast on 52 with House Sock.
For socks, aim for a gauge of 7.5 to 8 stitches per inch, which is usually achieved with a needle size of 2.25mm to US size 2 (2.75mm).
House Sock is composed of 90% Targhee wool. Targhee is one of the newer sheep breeds and its wool is three-quarters fine wool (like merino) and one-quarter long wool, making it a wonderful combination of soft and strong. You can read more about the Targhee sheep's fascinating history here.
-
The colors for this, and all our house yarns, are dreamed of in San Francisco, where my home studio is located, and hand-dyed by my colleague in Maine.
I use a variety of creative inspirations for my colors, from the colors of my beloved San Francisco, to literature, to Pantone inspirations. I design the yarn from color to style and it is then brought to life by my expert dye partner, Heather, in the fresh Maine air.
Yarn is dyed in small batches, with color applied by hand and using professional acid dyes.
Care: We recommend that you hand wash our yarns in cold or lukewarm water and lay your knitted item flat to dry. While superwash yarns are treated so that they can be machine washed, taking care to wash gently and air dry will greatly prolong the life of your handknit item.

410 yards | 100 grams
3-ply constructionColor notes: Inspired by A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Sun-Dappled brings to life Francie's beloved Tree of Heaven from the book, and looks like sun-dappled leaves when knit, with a range of greens from pale yellow-green to new growth to grass.

Lamppost at the Edge of the Forest | Winter Sock
Sold Out
-
An ultra-soft, durable sock yarn with a beautiful halo of mohair.
Our Winter Sock makes warm and deliciously luxurious socks. It contains 20% kid mohair, which gives this blend strength, warmth, and its delightful halo. Kid mohair is softer than other mohair fibers, which makes it a lovely choice for luxury socks.
Winter Sock has a midrange twist, and the combination of kid mohair and nylon makes the resulting fabric strong and hard-wearing.
Little Skein's Winter Sock
Colorway: Lamppost at the Edge of the Forest
55% superwash merino, 20% kid mohair, 25% nylon
430 yards | 100 grams
4-ply constructionColor notes: Inspired by The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this colorway is the cool lavender of a snowy scene at sunset, with tiny speckles of black and a single pop or two of the mustard yellow of a glowing light in a lamppost.
-
Winter Sock is extra durable because of its mohair and nylon content. These are socks that will stand up to a good deal of wear, and yet look and feel luxuriously soft. Kid mohair is softer than other mohair fibers, and makes for a wonderful substitute for MCN socks, which tend to pill and wear poorly.
For socks, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch, which is usually achieved with a needle size of 2.25mm to US size 2 (2.75mm).
