Using your della Q Premium Maker's Hat Box is a breeze. First, open the hard - shell case. You can use the nine pockets to keep your knitting needles or crochet hooks sorted. The exterior yarn feeders are great for pulling out yarn easily while you work on your project. The Oh Snap bag is handy for storing small items like stitch markers. When it comes to the items in the top - lid pockets, simply grab what you need as you work. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the hard shell. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. If you're not using it for a while, store it in a cool, dry place. Enjoy your crafting with this stylish and functional box!
