How to Choose the Right Size Project Bag for Your Next Knit
We’ve all been there: you’re packing for a weekend trip, and you try to shove a half-finished chunky sweater into a bag meant for socks. The zipper won't close, or worse—the fabric snags. Choosing the right project bag isn’t just about the "look"; it’s about protecting your hours of hard work.
Here is a quick guide to matching your project to the perfect La Cave à Laine bag:
-
The Small/Medium Drawstring (Socks, Hats, Shawls): Best for "one-skein wonders." If you are knitting socks, a beanie, or a lace weight shawl, you want a compact bag that doesn't let your yarn bounce around too much. You will be surprised to see how many skeins one of our small bags can carry!
-
The Cannolo Handbag (Sweaters & large projects): These are the "Goldilocks" of bags. They fit a 6–8 skein project perfectly. The unique shape of our Cannolo allows it to sit open next to you like a yarn bowl.
-
The Extra Large Drawstring (Sweaters & Blankets): When you’re at the "body and sleeves" stage of a garment, you need volume.
Pro Tip: Always look for internal pockets! Our bags feature pockets for your pattern and phone, so your "tools" don't get lost at the bottom of your "yarn."
