Simple and elegant, this project bag from Thread & Maple is the perfect home for your essential notions and 'work in progress' knitting projects. Handcrafted in Portugal from natural cork leather, this wide zip pouch has a large inner pocket to store your knitting tools and accessories.

It measures 20cm (8 inches) tall, 36cm (14 inches) at its widest point and stands on its own with a 12cm (5 inch) deep flat base. It comfortably holds a medium-sized 4-5skein project, such as a light cardigan or scarf. Each bag comes with a detachable wrist strap for easy carrying.

Cork is a sustainable and cruelty-free material, lightweight, waterproof and durable. Cork harvesting is a complex and fascinating process, almost like a ritual, carried out by specialists as it takes a lot of experience and manual skill to harvest the cork without harming the tree. The cork fabric of these bags comes from a tree that is at least 43 years old and may be older than you!

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

Please note that tassels are sold separately as optional add-ons.

Care: wipe clean with a damp cloth. Simply dip a small hand towel or cleaning cloth into warm water and rub any marks off the cork surface. You can add a bit of soap to the water mixture if just water isn't enough. Alternatively you can also use baby wipes. Let it dry naturally and in a horizontal position so that it keeps its shape.
