Color:

The Mini Binder brings the flexibility of our full format binder system to a smaller, more portable format—perfect for retreats, travel, or focused projects on the go. This handcrafted leather shell fits up to three Mini Pages and features:

  • A row of narrow slip pockets for your sock DPNs or cable needles
  • Four tiny holes to keep tapestry needles and cable keys safely tucked away
  • Dedicated slots for fixed circulars
  • A gusseted zippered pocket to stow notions
  • Two inner slip pockets inside each panel for papers or rulers
  • A large zippered pocket at the back for added storage
  • An elastic loop to hold a pen or your favorite crochet hook
  • Two leather binder straps that snap open and closed for easy page swapping

Best of all, it’s fully compatible with any of our velcro tabs—so you can bring your favorite interchangeable needle sets or crochet hooks from your full-size binder along for the ride.

While full-format Needle or Crochet Binder pages won’t snap into place in the Mini Binder, you can fold one in and slip it inside for temporary storage—it fits perfectly.

Meticulously handcrafted from soft genuine leather by our artisan team in Ukraine, with love.

Leather Care Guide

For minor nicks and scratches, gently wipe the leather in a circular motion using a slightly damp, soft cloth or a wool felt buffer pad.

For advanced care, treat the leather with leather soap and wax for deep cleaning and conditioning. A complete Leather Care Kit and individual wool felt buffer pads are available for purchase.

Note that our Rose-colored crazy horse leather doesn't respond well to this treatment, so it's best to use a simple, very damp cloth on those items.

  • The leather is so beautiful to look at and to touch. The quality is worth every penny!
  • The perfect travel addition to my needle collection. Exceeded my expectations!
  • My needles fit securely, there is separate storage for my cables and notions.

New mini binder

It holds two pages which I thought would be enough. Guess I have more needles and other things than I thought. It’s perfect for the Chiaogoo complete set and the blue shorties. But I have lots of multiple needles in my favorite sizes.

I’m thrilled with my purchase, but had I been more realistic I should have gone with the jumbo. But this has proven just how lovely and functional the thread and maple needle binders are. I will be upgrading to the jumbo soon.

Just beautiful

I have always had trouble finding good storage for my knitting needles and cables. My previous binder was a rollup binder with long, thin pockets for the needles; every time I opened it, everything would fall out of the pockets. It drove me absolutely crazy. This binder does not have that problem. My needles fit securely, there is separate storage for my cables and notions, and I already have plans to expand with new pages. The leather is just gorgeous, too.
