If you have popped by our website in the last week, you might have noticed a new addition. We’ve added an exciting new line of handcrafted leather goods perfect for the crafting lifestyle. Muud is a Danish brand, and we’re so excited to be a retailer for their products in the United States. From project bags to chic storage solutions for your notions, you’re sure to find something you love.
Today, I wanted to share a few of the products that have quickly become essentials for my knitting.
When we first decided to bring on muud, I was immediately drawn to Stockholm. I knew I needed it for my interchangeable needle set. It perfectly stores the needle tips, has a zippered pocket for storing cords, notions, and the perfect pockets for holding my needle gauge. (Stay tuned – the needle gauge shown, created by Katrinkles for Universal Yarn, is coming soon!)
My favorite thing about Stockholm is the size. It is large and roomy, but folds up into the perfect size. It can easily be tossed into a project bag, and doesn’t take up too much space on my living room end table, where my needles usually live.
One thing I love about the line is the inclusion of small, adorable accessories that are ideal for storing your notions. Helsinki is a great storage container with a zipper closure. I’ve been using it to store my Katrinkles mini-tools as well as stitch markers, tapestry needles, and more.
No knitter or crocheter can get by without a tape measure. If I don’t have one nearby, I feel lost! Sure, I have the retractable tape measures, but I also have several of the regular ol’ tape measures. Enter Malmo – possibly the cutest, most useful storage solution for a tape measure I’ve seen. Malmo was designed specifically for them! Just roll it up, place it in the case, and snap it shut until you need it. It has a little keyring, so it’s so easy to attach to your project bag for safe keeping.
Finally – the Saturn XL. Talk about an excellent project bag! It’s deep, has plenty of pockets both inside and out, and a handy strap to toss over your shoulder and head out the door. This bag will easily store projects of all sizes – including your latest sweater WIP.
The Whisky colorway is perfect for me, but if brown isn’t your cup of tea, all of the products I mentioned come in black, too. There are also so many different styles and sizes to choose from. If you’re looking for a sophisticated treat for yourself or a luxurious gift for a fellow crafter, check out all of the products in the muud collection here (link).
