The della Q Maker's Hat Box is a structured project case. Instead of a soft pouch that slumps, it holds its shape, so a single special project stays clean, uncrushed and easy to get at.
It's part of della Q's Maker's line and comes in Maroon, Teal and Indigo. It's meant for one project at a time rather than a whole stash.
It suits a maker who likes each project to have its own home, and works well as a gift since it looks polished sitting on a side table.
Good for
- Hats, socks and other single projects
- Delicate yarns like mohair you don't want crushed
- Keeping one project separate from the rest
- A gift for a knitter or crocheter
Using it
Put your working ball at the bottom and the project on top, and the box keeps everything from shifting. Because it's structured, it's a good place for a project with a lot of pins or markers in it; nothing gets squashed or bent. Fluffy yarns like mohair stay fluffier in a box than in a tight pouch.

Looking after it
Spot-clean with a damp cloth. Don't put it through the wash, which can distort the structure. Store it empty or lightly filled so it keeps its shape.
