The pouches feature a single zippered compartment that keeps delicate projects separated from items that can tangle or snag your piece. Toss it inside the reversible drawstring bag, which is just the right size for thread and lace projects."

Love of Knitting- 2011
We were just reviewed and featured in the “Love of Knitting” magazine! Summer 2011 edition.

Our Yarn Keeper was reviewed by Knitty.com in their Winter Edition, 2011. (Here’s the link: Knitty Review – scroll down just a bit- you’ll see it!)
This is what their review said:
" I love yarns blended with silk, tencel or bamboo – lovely drape, lovely shine, but a lot of the time they are slippery. I hate when I wind a ball and it falls apart when I’m knitting. I’ve trapped them in Ziplocs before, leaving a tiny opening, or tearing a small hole for the yarn to thread through, but inevitably the bags come open or the hole tears larger and the yarn becomes an irritating heap in my knitting bag or the floor. I test drove a Chic-a yarn keeper with a couple of different yarns – 100% silk and a merino bamboo yarn.
The Yarn Keeper is a small(ish) round zipper-topped, flat bottomed pouch, with a hole in the lid to thread your yarn through. Your yarn cake or ball has plenty of room to unwind, but not enough room to tangle. These Yarn Keepers have smooth, smooth seams, neither of my yarns snagged, and the same goes for the grommet in the lid – smooth and snag free. The lids are clear so if you can peek at your yarn to see how much is left.
The Yarn Keeper is made of brightly colored oilcloth, which is fabulous, fun and practical. The fabric adds a stiffness to the case which keeps it upright when you knit and also prevents the Keeper from scrunching, helping to prevent the sides of the Keeper from pushing strands of yarn off of your ball or skein and tangling.
It was nice to knit and not to worry about my yarn tangling or escaping from my bag!"
