 Bag Size Recommended Amount of Yarn (with room to spare for project!) & Suggested Projects
Cake Cozy Designed to keep yarn from one cake of fingering-weight yarn from tangling in your bag. Specifically designed for when you don’t want to carry a project bag, this would also be a fantastic way to keep multiple skeins wrangled in a larger bag. Made from Knot Bag scraps!
Triangle Pouch A single-skein bag that is set up to knit socks, one skein hats, or other similar projects! Will also hold circular needles with some wrangling. 
Small Box Bag

Up to 300g of fingering-weight yarn, 200g of worsted weight yarn, 100g of bulky+ weight yarn

Suggested Projects: Accessories (socks, hats, mittens, etc), shawlettes, shawls, baby projects, single items of seamed-sweaters (sleeve/back/front), starts of projects that will later need a large bag.

Can also be used as a make up or toiletries bag, toy bag for the kids’ car toys, or as a shaving kit bag!

Large Box Bag

Up to 500g of DK to worsted-weight yarn, 300g of bulky-weight yarn

Suggested Projects: Sweaters, larger (more colours/worsted-weight) shawls, baby projects, starts to blankets, or any of the accessories listed in the small bags!

Big Bag

Up to 700g of bulky+ weight yarn, 900g of worsted-weight yarn

Suggested Projects: Blankets, large & bulky sweaters, and all those WIPs kicked out of smaller project bags so one can start the next best project! 

Can also be used for a tote bag!
