Using this needlecase is a breeze. Simply unzip the case and open it accordion - style to access the eleven pockets. Place your circular needles in the pockets and use the included blank stickers to label them. When you're done knitting, zip up the case to keep your needles secure. To maintain the needlecase, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid getting it wet as it may damage the canvas and faux leather. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
