Using your della Q Sock Needle Keeper is a breeze. First, open the pouch by unsnapping the faux leather straps. You can place your circular or double - pointed needles (sizes 6 and 8) inside, or neatly tuck in your ongoing sock project. Then, snap the pouch closed to keep everything secure. As for maintenance, gently wipe the linen fabric with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid getting it wet as it might damage the fabric and the faux leather straps. Since the new Linen Collection colors are pre - ordered, please be patient as they'll take about four weeks to ship.
