Using your della Q Sock Needle Keeper is a breeze. First, open the pouch by unsnapping the faux leather straps. You can then place your circular or double - pointed knitting needles (sizes 6 and 8) inside. If you have a work - in - progress sock project, just put it in there too. Once everything is inside, snap the pouch closed to keep your needles and project safe. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects that could tear the linen fabric. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Remember, the new colors in the Linen Collection will take about four weeks to ship, so be patient and wait for your beautiful needle keeper to arrive.
