Knitting BagSoft Sided Amish Wicker Travel Tote for Yarn & Needles

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from natural rattan reed by the Yoder family, Old-Order Amish weavers on the Iowa-Missouri border. Soft wicker sides over a solid hardwood bottom, so the bag flexes where you carry it and stands firm where you set it.
• A Knitting Bag Built to Travel: Unlike a fabric yarn bag that slumps when you set it down, this soft-sided wicker knitting bag stands open beside whatever chair you land in, at home or away. The sides flex gently under your arm while the bag keeps its shape.
• Room for Real Projects: Measures 12" x 9" x 10" tall, with space for several skeins of wool, your current project, crochet hooks, knitting needles, and the small tools that like to wander.
• Tangle-Free Yarn Grommets: Four grommets come standard on every bag, built right into the genuine leather handle. Feed your working yarn through and knit or crochet straight from the bag, no snags, no tangles, no skein rolling across the floor.
• Genuine Steerhide Handles: Hand cut, hand rolled, and riveted from US steerhide, thick enough to feel substantial and comfortable to carry with a full load of yarn.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green.
• Optional Extras: A hand-sewn liner (Cream, Wine, Blue, or Green), the leather Yarn Buddy strap, and protective feet are each optional and sold separately, right on this page. Add them if you like; the bag is complete without them.
• American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

This is the knitting bag for a knitter whose projects never stay home. It travels from the couch to the porch, up and down the stairs, off to knit night and prayer shawl group, and out to the car for a long trip, standing open and ready wherever you settle. As a travel knitting bag it is hard to beat: the soft wicker sides tuck gently under your arm, the steerhide handles rest easy in your hand, and the solid hardwood bottom keeps everything upright so your yarn stays put between rows. One customer gave it to her sister, who filled it with her current project plus her new yarn and said that now she can carry her knitting wherever she goes.

What sets this knitting tote apart from an ordinary yarn bag is the detail knitters mention most: the four tangle-free yarn grommets, which come standard, set right into the genuine leather handle. Feed a working strand through each one and you can work from several skeins at once. As one crocheter wrote, "My yarns don't get tangled and I can move from one color to the next without skipping a beat." The weave itself is finished so cleanly that snagged yarn is rarely a worry. And two plain answers to the questions we hear most often: yes, a hand-sewn liner made for this bag now exists, offered as an option right on this page, and no, this soft-sided bag cannot take an engraved brass plate. If a personalized plate matters for your gift, our hard-sided knitting baskets carry them nicely.

Quite a few of our customers own the traveling half of a pair. They keep the larger knitting basket at home beside a favorite chair, and this knitting tote bag handles everything beyond the front door. It is not particular about the work you hand it, either, and it suits embroidery just as well as yarn. Customers carry quilting projects and needlework in theirs, and one told us this wicker tote bag was "so cute and well made I think I will end up using it for shopping in general."

Like everything we sell, this knitting travel bag is handwoven by the Yoder family, Old-Order Amish weavers on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it. It is covered by our lifetime guarantee and our no-questions returns, where you pay only the return shipping, and standard shipping is always free. If you are buying it for a birthday or Christmas and the date is close, choose rush delivery at checkout, which arrives in 2 to 4 weekdays. Every order ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box and a free gift note at checkout.
