Using the della Q Teal Maker's Hat Box is super easy. First, unpack your knitting or crochet essentials and start organizing them in the nine pockets. You can keep your needles or crochet hooks in separate pockets for easy access. The exterior yarn feeders are great for when you're working on a project on the move. Just thread your yarn through them. The integrated tape measure, scissors, and darning needles in the top - lid pockets are always at hand when you need them. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the hard - shell exterior if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the box. Keep it in a dry place to prevent any moisture from affecting your supplies. When not in use, you can store it on a shelf or in a closet, and it won't take up too much space.
