Twig & Horn's Indigo Dyed Cotton Totes are a perfect balance of portable and roomy, both small enough to carry daily, and large enough to store groceries, or a sweater work in progress.

Each tote is dyed in an indigo vat by hand in Maine, and are available in three color styles: light blue, medium blue, and dip dyed. The totes are unlined, cut and sewn in the USA from 10 oz 100% cotton canvas, and rated to carry up to 40 lbs. Because of the variance associated with the handdyeing process, each bag is unique, and may vary in shade, texture, and hue from the pictured totes. 

The screenprinted totes are designed and printed in Portland, Maine.

Twig & Horn yarn bowls are the solution to keeping your yarn from rolling away and falling to the farthest corner behind the sofa (where it inevitably falls in with the no-good dust bunny crowd). Guide fine- or heavy-gauge yarns down the slot to the opening, where it will stay safe and secure while you knit, yet ready to release the yarn without breaking if needed.

Turned by hand in Maine and finished with natural oils for protection, our bowls are available in two wood types. Each sturdy yet light bowl is unique. No two are alike. Please note that the red oak bowls have slightly oval shaping.

American maple - A rustic, slightly darker wood with textured grain.

American red oak - A warm, slightly darker wood than Maple with textured grain.

Birch - A light-toned, smooth wood with subtle grain.
