The Tatting Toolbox: Riego
The Tatting Toolbox: Riego
Keep your tatting tools handy and organized on the go or at home, with this sturdy, compact mini-tote. The Riego 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. A large storage slot can hold thread balls of a variety of sizes, as well as beads and other accessories.
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.

Please note that my logo is located on the narrow panel on either side of the toolbox. If you would like your own logo, a convention logo, or other design debossed into the base, please message me for details.
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 Riego bases and slide-on compartments before composting.
