Laura - the knitter's toolbag 4/30

EUR 59.95

We created this handsome toolbag for creative types to keep their knitting needles organised. No one ever has just a few needles, and there are always two of them.

Laura is crafted from an upcycled windmill sailcloth from De Palmboom windmill in Schiedam. The sail was no longer strong enough to keep whipping around in the Dutch weather, but it was perfect for being transformed into something useful and handsome by the clever clogs at Mill Made.

Produced in a very limited edition of only 30, thanks to the varying weather patterns on the canvas created during its previous working life.

Designed with 12 pockets for your needles, each pocket can hold 2 to 4 needles, depending on their size. The needle points are protected when the top edge is folded down. The whole bag is then rolled up and tied with a nifty soft rope. Your needles will be snug as bugs.

We named this knitting toolbag in honour of the inspirational and talented Laura IJzerman, Creative Director at Wereldwijven Ateliers, who suggested it would make a perfect addition to our range.

After a thorough wash, the soft windmill sailcloth has been masterfully transformed by the team of artisans at Wereldwijven Ateliers in Dordrecht, South Holland. Your purchase of Mill Made products also supports this important social initiative.

Number 4 in the series of 30
