The Tatting Toolbox: Mignonette
The Tatting Toolbox: Mignonette
Keep your tatting tools handy and organized on the go or at home, with this sturdy, compact mini-tote. The Mignonette has several slots and features to securely accommodate all your favorite shuttles, tatting needles, and accessories.
The Tatting Toolbox features a rigid PLA plastic base with molded-in, tapered shuttle slots that set shuttles on their edges instead of their tips to prevent dulling, blunting, and bending. Slots of different shapes and sizes allow for carrying whatever combination of shuttles and tools fit your current project needs. The oval slots can hold scissors, needle cases, and other tools, while the small circular slots fit a full set of tatting needles of different sizes as well as crochet hooks.
The lid opens at the top into two halves like a clamshell, with both halves resting against the sides of the base to form two small shelves when open. Two small tabs on each lid prevent them from closing too far, and magnets* built into the handles securely hold the lid closed. Easily open the lid by pressing outward on the kiss lock style tabs at the tops of the handles.
The lid also has enough room for small tatting projects in progress and a ball of thread on top of the shuttles. Standard Lisbeth thread balls fit comfortably inside the lid when closed.

These cases are printed in high quality, eco-friendly, industrially compostable PLA plastic. Please remove all belongings, any strap rings, the magnets in the lid handles, and the magnets in Empress bases and slide-on compartments before composting.
