Designed with the wanderlust maker in mind (but works for everyone!), the della Q Maker's Train Case conveniently fits under most airplane seats! You can still crochet or knit when the case is closed - just feed your yarn through the metal opening on either side of the case! When the case is open, you can easily read your pattern as it's held in place with magnets against the lid.
MAKER'S TRAIN CASE DETAILS:
A lightweight metal lid w/ ultra strong magnets. Use these to attach your pattern to the lid for easy reference.
A U-Shaped yarn feeder on both sides of the case whether the case is open or closed, you can knit out of the case.
A tray insert that fits snuggly within the case capable of holding notions and other bits and bobbles.
Addition of a shoulder strap to transform into a chic cross-body.
Removable handles.
Metal feet on the bottom of the case.
Included notions: 3 lotus stitch markers, darning needle, dot journal.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not machine wash. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Do not dry clean. Use only cold water and a mild detergent to spot clean as needed.

Good and concers (4 out of 5)
Love the size although I liked the previous one better for the handle on the top and still has an issue with the magnetic lid which is one of the features I love but it seems like my husband will be regluing it as it pulls away for the lid. Have net tried the shoulder strap as I have a bad neck and don’t like putting extra weight on my shoulder. Which is why the single handle on the lid was a good choice for me.
I got this case because I like the idea of having my tools all together using the magnets. The only issue I had was one of the little cute buttons was off then it was delivered. I just added superglue and it has been fine ever since! I have ordered 2 more. This is great for socks and small projects like shawls.
I love the magnetic lid to keep patterns handy. I also like the tray for small items to keep them separate from the yarn below. This is my go to travel bag for small projects!
I’ve had this case for over a month now and love everything about it except for the latch. The screws are just screwed into the canvas and the case but not anchored into anything meaning they kept falling out and the latch would fall off. I ended up mixing some epoxy to make an anchor for the screws and it worked out really well except some of the gray epoxy got on the sides of the latch and on the canvas so now it looks a bit sloppy.
The canvas also stains easily for those of you that aren’t careful with your knitting beverages like me… but I can’t fault the case for that.
I love the original JB’s train case I was gifted a couple of years back, but this version really levels up the usability. First the tray: wonderfully perfect for notions and spare needles, cables, etc. Second: the latch feels more secure than the former snap. Third: the handles are SUCH an improvement. They allow for easier carrying and also mean you can stack something on top of the case when needed without it sliding off, for someone that uses a tablet to track my patterns this is phenomenal. Lastly, the material feels much more durable. I love the vegan leather look and feel, but it doesn’t always hold up, canvas is a much more practical and reliable choice. Over all super happy with the investment in it.
I really just loved the look of this - takes me back to the 60’s-even though my projects may not always fit bulky sweaters! I am doing a colorwork chart right now with 2 yarns and using it which is great! No chance of winding round each other! Haven’t had to carry it around yet, but so far it’s pretty functional for smaller projects.
I love the look of this case and Jimmy Beans has tried to make it right by sending me a replacement. The email said they were going to reenforce the latch in shipping. I got the new case today, there was no effort to protect the latch. I had to laugh and take pictures of the contents after taking the case out of the box. I looked at the latch to see if it was improved and found that only part of the latch was intact. I looked in the shipping box and half the latch was in the bottom with its two screws. At this point, I just want my money back.
There isn't an option to upload the photos of the condition of the case.
Today the latch on my new case fell off. I have been using this for a project I began last week. This morning the latch fell off. The top latch has 2 small screws, one fell out, no big deal except I realized that it isn’t a problem which will be easily solved because the small screws really have no support and they continue to spin into the case. Luckily I was at home and the hardware wasn’t lost, but it has damaged my confidence in this case.
It does look good, though.
I have been using this for a month now and it is well made and very functional! My favorite part is the tray missing from previous model which holds all the extra stuff you need for your project. I also love the magnetic top which holds my metal cable needle, measuring tape, etc. The purple color is beautiful too. This case is a great improvement over the older model which currently serves as the home of my chocolate stash.
