Using this needlecase is a breeze. Just unzip the closure, open it up in the accordion style, and you can place your circular needles in the separate pockets. Use the included blank stickers to mark which pocket holds what size of needles. When carrying it around, hold it by the faux leather handle. To keep it in good condition, avoid getting it wet as the canvas may be damaged. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
