The della Q Maker's Canvas Backpack is a rucksack-style bag in waxed canvas, made for people who carry a project everywhere and want both hands free. It has a needle pocket and a yarn port, and enough room for a sweater in progress plus the rest of what you'd take for the day.
Waxed canvas is a sturdy, weather-resistant fabric that softens and takes on character as it's used. It comes in a range of colors, from Cocoa and Olive to Teal, Mustard and Vivid Rose.
It's a good fit for commuters, students, and anyone who knits on trains, at lunch, or at knit night and wants a bag that doubles as a daily carry.
Good for
- Commuting with a project
- Knit night and fiber festivals
- Sweater-sized projects that won't fit a pouch
- Crafters who want a daily bag, not just a project bag
Using it
Feed your working yarn through the yarn port and you can knit or crochet straight from the bag without the ball rolling away. Put needles in their own pocket so the points don't pierce the lining or snag the yarn. If you carry a big project, keep the ball in a small inner pouch so it doesn't tangle with other things. Our yarn storage guide has more ideas for keeping yarn tidy.
Looking after it
Spot-clean waxed canvas with a damp cloth and cold water. Don't machine wash it, dry-clean it, or use hot water and detergent, which strip the wax. Over years the wax can be refreshed with a fabric wax bar to restore water resistance.
