In today's video I'll be telling you about various ideas for storing and organizing your knitting needles, including straight needles, interchangeable needle sets, double-pointed needles, and fixed circular needles. Before we go into the classroom, I have a book review for you, featuring an audiobook that is outside my normal genre but is nonetheless interesting. Leave me a comment below and let me know how you store your knitting needles (or crochet hooks) or just say hi. I always enjoy hearing from you.

The info about storing needles starts at about 10:00.
Thank you! I was about to quit
Thank you, Kristine, for a wonderful podcast. Wow! You put a lot of time, money, talent, and energy into this for us. How selfless of you! I am a novice knitter. I taught myself to knit and purl when I was 14 years old. I used an illustrated beginners book. I only made scarves and squares. I became an extension agent and took advantage of the Craft Yarn Council’s outreach program where they sent a teacher to our parish in Louisiana to teach knitting and crochet. There were about 22 ladies who attended. We had a wonderful time learning from our teacher, Marge Wilde. I spent many years quilting but I don’t want to continue because my best friend and quilter passed away. Now I am retired and making socks is on my bucket list. I’m going to start with dish cloths. I have gathered my old supplies and purchased new sets and notions to begin again. You can see that I caught your podcast just in time to organize my bin of Knit Picks, Addi, and Denise supplies. I purchased with my nine year old granddaughter in mind too. Thank you very much. I have joined Ravelry and I look forward to meeting friends and mentors. 🧶
My sister made me a beautiful box to store my circular needles in & I always leave them in the original packaging. I told her I want another box for my dpns. Love your show
I don’t do much knitting but I crochet. I can use a lot of these ideas to store my crochet hooks. Thank you for all of your hard work in producing these videos.
I made roll up cases for my straight needles and use tubes I got from Knit Picks for my DPNs. My biggest challenge was my fixed circular needles. I hated that I had to fight the curl every time I wanted to use one so I made a crochet hanging storage similar to the fancy ones in your video. I love it and it takes up very little space. I hang it on the side of a wooden book shelf! I loved this video because all your videos inspire me. I miss your videos when they don’t show up every week! I will be anxiously waiting for the next one! Thank for your entertaining, inspiring and informative videos!
I seem to store most of my needles in projects in progress 😂
Hi Heather -- I resemble that remark, lol! :)
I went straight to ebay when you showed the test tube holder and bought one before I even finished our podcast.
LOVE all the lower cost ideas and options! I appreciate all the options that you are SO good to present.
Love the opening little lambs so cute!!
Love these ideas, especially the toothbrush holder. Now I feel motivated to do a little spring cleaning in the craft room . I think I may change over to the binder system for my circular needles. I know I sometimes buy a new one simply because it is easier than finding one in my needle mess
Great information - thank you! I appreciate that you offered a variety of options for every budget.
Thanks Kristine - this was very helpful! This has given me the gumption to get all my fixed circulars out of the large plastic bag they are currently in and organized for my sanity! Love your podcasts - always fun and informative....
When I first started knitting and only had a few successful projects, I used a three ring binder with storage sheets to keep the pattern and the required needles in the same protector. That way I could see the picture to choose what I wanted to make and had the needles there to get started!
Hi again Kris,
I enjoyed all of your great ideas for storing needles! I use a plastic shoe box for some of my shorter straight needles. I also have an antique knitting cabinet that has three tiny drawers in front and two wooden lift up flaps on either side. The flip up ends hold my long straight needles. I have a 'huge' collection of straights since I learned to knit on straights and are all of my Mom and Grandmother's vintage needles. I think the cabinet is rare to find. It is one of my treasures!
I also use one of those tri-fold cases for traveling that has several zip pockets for bathroom supplies. It has many different sized zipper areas which work great for other notions. I use one for my dpn's which are tied by hair ties. Another holds some of my fixed circular needles. My smaller fixed needles are in a zippered purse. I don't use many large sized needles. I love things made with finer yarns, 4 ply yarn is my favorite.
I use a round carton given to me by my sister and decorated with cute photos of our family for my crochet hooks. It sounds like things are all over the place but I find my system easy to use.
I wanted to tell you how sweet your Etsy bags are! I bought one and received it this week and LOVE it so much! I'm sure I will be buying more. :D
Have a restful break, see you soon!
Sharon :) xx
Thank you, Kristine! This video was very helpful and has a LOT of needle storage ideas! Thank you again!
Goin' to the $1 store!!! Yay! LOVE your idea!!! Keep them coming girl!!!! Xo
This was an awesome report. As I watched I kept thinking how many of those items I have in my basement unused such as binders and vases. I still have some needles (from the 1970's) in a woven fabric placemat where I just weaved them through the gaps. It worked great. I also have some button tubes that my local quilt store was going to throw out that would hold even large dpn's. Guess I better get busy. Thanks for your work!
Great epi as usual! I do not have a storage system for my fixed circs but I do now thanx to your last offering....just put them in zippys then store in a basket/container....all of which I have. Easy peasy & thank you :)
For fixed circulars and interchangeable cables, I bought a zipper pouch from a big box store sporting department. It's original purpose was to store fishing lures! Perfect! (a hint given to our Guild many years ago by a much more experienced knitter)
Thanks again for some interesting alternatives. I do use straight needles. I was petrified (I have no idea why) of circular needles and now use them for everything, also. As I add to my personal selection of needles, I will come back to this video for advice. Right now I keep straights in vases and tall tubular containers that stabilizer came in, circulars in the cases or pkgs they came in, and crochet hooks in a pickle jar. Accessories ( yarn keys, knitting jewelry and sewing needles) in pretty Glad dish. Enjoy your Spring Break......see you when you return.
Thank you for this report. I like the binder idea and will try this as my needle collection is growing very fast.
Thank you very much for sharing such great ideas. I will keep my CD disk binders :)
Lots of great ideas for needle storage. I’ll be trying some of these out.
Hi there, Appreciated your really useful ideas. I keep my straight needles in a wine holder gift box that I bought from the dollar store. It is a round tall cardboard tube with a lid.Works great. Your tips on storing fixed circular needles were absolutely great. I am going to put your ideas to use. Again thank you so much.
Great episode, Kristine. I love organizational videos. I use vinyl pouches in a binder.
Some ideas I'd already thought of, and some I'd never DREAMED of! Never thought of the toothbrush holders, and loved the simple and inexpensive zip lock baggies in the plastic basket at the end. Your system is among the best, I might just go with that one. : )
Lovely video as always. Very interesting book. Lots of useful and very novel ideas. Have a wonderful Easter.
Wow thanks for all the great ideas!
Thanks for sharing lots of storage solutions. It really helps!I love that filing system most, would like to try this from now!
Love all the ideas. Thanks for doing this
Thank you for covering this topic! I’m a newish knitter and I’m getting quite a collection. I bought the knitters pride case from my lys but love all these interesting new ideas! Thank you 😊
just found you today (4-10-2022). Thanks for all the great tips. I've been knitting almost 60 years and I have all my straight needles in a book bag hanging in a closet. I have my most used DPNs in my sewing stand, and my 4-6-7-8 circulars and the 3 crochet hooks that I use the most are in the pocket of my knitting bag. I am going to work on better organizing the needles, DPNs, and hooks I don't use as often. Thanks again.
Kristine, I found a solution for Stitch Markers from “Happy Knits” on UA-cam on her Quick Dollar Tree Haul episode, colorful pill dispensers. I was even able to coordinate my colored markers with the colors of the dispenser. This community is so great and it is wonderful to have so many helpful people with great solutions. Thank you for all the effort you go to getting this information out to us.
Love the diy binder idea.
Fun video, lots of good ideas for me. Thanks!
Great options, thank you.....Love your binder idea the best, will try to do that
Thanks for all the great ideas Kris! Happy Easter.
Thanks, Cayenne -- I'm responding late, but hope you had a Happy Easter, too! XO
Love the idea of storing fixed circular needles in ziplock bags in a binder. So right for me! Currently the ones most used are hanging on my storage cabinet across three over the door hooks. The ones less frequently used are in their original bags in a plastic tub of crochet and knitting items. I have a terrible time trying to straighten the kinks out of the plastic connectors. My crochet hooks are in three places - two fabric roll ups tied with a ribbon and a zippered pouch that the Bose ones came in (I keep loosing track of my hooks, so kept buying more of them). My DPNs are in an art container for pens. Each set is in a rubber band. Along with a needle sizing ruler. My straight needles are in two containers - one is a zippered pouch and the other is a long plastic tube where the pairs are held together with various rubber band types. Naturally wdith the extra large needles, these are stored loose in the plastic tub where I keep the crochet hooks and the DPN box.
I have a project bag that I keep my needles and hooks in. I use separate fabric pencil cases to keep my interchangeable tips, fixed needles, and DPNs (in their original packaging if it fits) and I use a pocket in the project bag to keep the extra cords. Then I have a plastic case I use for notions. Everything fits nicely in the bag which is easy to hang up or store away. I'm running out of room in my pencil cases though. I liked some of the cases you showed and I have an old pair of jeans that were about to be thrown away which I'm now going to re-purpose to make one. I really love that your podcast isn't just another show and tell. You really share a lot of great ideas and information.
Thanks so much, Fern. XO

Great information as usual. I store my circulars simply on a wall hook but I do have to use a needle card to check the size because it's hard to read on the needles. i store my interchangeable ones in my Chiagoo original fabric case. I like this alot. I'm interested now in maybe getting the Chiagoo case with the white ribbon to store fixed circulars. The hook I hang mine on is a plague with my inital on it and on the wall by my big yarn basket. One funny but dangerous story was there is an outlet below the needles and one of my longer cabled needles evidently touched the halfway plugged in electrical cord and it burnt my needle tip and shot fire. Yes, that was crazy. So I am looking for another way to store them. OH, I'm so glad you looked up Victoria and watched it. My husband and i love anything British 1800 and early 1900 era and we loved it. Can't wait for season 3 to come out on PBS! Masterpiece theatre on PbS is just really good in general.
I enjoyed your video and the comments from viewers. It seems we all struggle with wanting to be organized. I use a large binder with zippered pouches sorted by cable length. But I think your idea to sort by needle size is better!
you are the best!!!!
so glad i found you
Thank you Kristine, very informative! I store my needles in their original packaging however have some old fixed circulars just hanging over a bar, not organized. I will definitely review all of your options and choose a method to better organize my needles. Appreciate all the work you do to provide us with this information!
Very interesting show. Thank you
Great ideas. I love the toothbrush holders and will use that for my rarely used 20cm (8") metal dpns that I keep in case I snap a wooden or bamboo one!
Excellent information, gave me some very good ideas.
Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I have my needles in project/tote bags. One has my good metal needles, another has my wooden needles and the other holds my cheap metal and plastic needles. I’m have them in their original packaging, well most of them. And then I have a rubber band around them by their cord size. 16’s are all together etc. Not the best system but it works for me for now.
I use a binder with the plastic sleeves. I will include stock paper as you have mentioned,good idea! Mine flop around. I bought a colored pencil holder and use it to store my dpn's in. It rolls and has a leather tie. Of course, like most, I put my straights and crochet hooks into decorative vases. One,a hand thrown ceramic vase, I found free at a tag sale. Thank you for another great episode!
I love your podcast, so many great ideas, I also use toothbrush holders for my dpns, and my circular sets, all came with pretty cases
Super info! Thought I might pick up ideas for crochet hooks ..maybe ty
I have both the small ChiaoGoo Twists for sock knitting and their complete set. And they come with the notions for each. The little zip plastic bags zippers are getting weak. I took a plastic rubber band case which came with the flexible clear snap together case, and have put my notions from both my sets together in the external zippered pocket of the larger ChiaoGoo complete set case. Works well. I do a lot of sock knitter and do use some DPNs for the toes of socks so there are extra pockets inside the internal case which holds the needles. There are extra slots for more needles so rubber banded the two sets together in case they would slip out, not as much mess and less chance of losing some.
I found a red rubber gripper at Walmart as the larger ChiaoGoo needles to not have a tightening hole as to the small sock needles. The rubber gripper works well and I have the smaller red case for these sock needles inside my bigger complete set case. Really keeps it more organized for what I am currently working on.
Thanks for all your great suggestions. I try to work on a shoestring so that I can put my money into either more tools or yarn, of course.
Thank Kristin. I was looking for fixed circular needle storage that doesn’t use wall space. Great wealth of information. Love your presentation detail of price range and where you can obtain the items.
I buy postage tubes from the post office (similar to a pringles packet), I cover them with pretty wrapping paper. I have a large one for straight needles and a smaller one for DPN. I also bought plastic twisted holders for each DPN set. I used to use rubber bands but now I live in the tropics they perish to quickly. I use one of my kids old pensil case for my crocher hooks, it has a zip closer and elastic loops that use to hold the pensils. I put my notions and small scissors in a small zip lock bag which fits inside. I use an old CD case for my circular needles.
I am just starting out with inherited circular knitting needles. I thought the cd holder was genius with the hard outside. That's what I'm going to start with, compact and easy to transport. :) Thank you for all this great info!
Hello! Happy Spring! I am a Della Q over the door circular needle person. I have tried so many different storage options with limited success. My Della Q is over the closet door in my craft room and it works well. I do have a tough time figuring out which length I am grabbing with all the other circular needles hanging. I am considering buying a second Della Q hanging organizer and using it for the longer length needles. Thank you for another informative and helpful podcast. I look forward to your next season. Warmly, Holly
I use an accordion binder for my fixed circulars. I use the tabs at the top to indicate sizes and the plastic pockets are see-through so I can quickly see the ones I want. I prefer tubes for dpn’s. My only issue is what to do about long straight needles - I’d rather not have to clean/dust them every time and feel open storage leaves them unprotected from the elements of time, I have a couple vintage ones that have a bit of rust on the caps. Roll-ups are great but I have far too many to fit into them.
Thanks for the episode! Lots of ideas. I’m just doing a 3 ring binder w/ the binder pockets. Not too pretty, but practical. I’m dreaming of turning our formal dining room into my knitting space... one day. Right now, my knitting space is in my closet.
HOW DO I STORE MY NEEDLES? READY, AIM, TOSS~ YEAH, I NEEDED THIS EPISODE. THANKS.
I'm guilty of that sometimes, too, LOL! Thank you for watching. XO
On the same line of the book, Humans, a TV series might be a good watch for you. Love the toothbrush holder idea. My dpn's and straight needles are mainly just in milk glass vases, my short dpn's when in a project bag are stored in a cloth eye glass case. For my crochet hooks I've made a case like the Knit picks case you shown, and others are in tins with a hinged lid. Fixed circular needles I keep in zippered pencil cases that go into a 3 ring binder. I like the coupon holder idea as well. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the storage tips!!! currently I don't have a method, all my fixed circulars are in a small tub. I see lots of storage ideas and like your binder method. thanks again for another great helpful tutorial!
Very useful review! I have had ongoing problems trying to store my circular needles and I am glad you spoke about many options for organizing those circulars, some of them inexpensive. As of today, I always ended up having a bunch of circular needles piled in a plastic bin and being unable to conveniently organize them. Thank you so much!
I am going to read that book!
I recently got rid of a ton of old documents and it freed up space in my file drawer. I put each size of my circular needles in a baggie marked with a sharpie. Then I put the baggies for two sizes in a pendaflex folder with tabs at the top indicating which two sizes the file holds. In other words, 1 -2, 3-4, etc. it’s working out great.
So many great ideas! I have tried several different methods but have gradually moved to the the plastic pocket in the notebook system. By the way, I love your yarn wall!! ♥️🧶
Thank you for all your research; lots of great ideas. I've been using storage bags for my circular needles; either the quart or gallon size depending on the length of the cord. I keep them in a drawer in my knitting cabinet and they fit flat so I can store quite a few of them together. I mark the storage bag with the size and length of the needle. Works good for me... but not very
pretty like some of the ones you showed. Wish I could come to your knitting retreat in Minnesota; I live in Minneapolis so it wouldn't be a long drive. Unfortunately, I'm not available the time you are going.
I came here for knitting storage. I got an interesting problem of prejudice and people turning a blind eye.
Excellent ideas, thank you! You are so thorough. 🧶🌻😊
Thank you for all the storage ideas. I usually keep my circular needles on a pants hanger or all together with one in a rubber band just letting them hang.
Great show! I use a DMC stitchbow floss case for my interchangeable needle sets and a namaste circular case for my fixed circs. I made a roll up case for my straights when I first started knitting. I mostly use circulars now though. I don’t use dpns very often so the few I have are in a ziplock bag. I’m mim on Ravelry.
I use a binder system that is nearly identical to yours! Thanks for the informative episode and great season of Ewe University!
There's some great ideas in your show today. I currently keep my straights in a cup, interchangeables in the original case, and my dpns and fixed circs in their original sleeves and then in a large zippered pencil case. I keep all my crochet hooks in the pencil case as well. However I am running out of room in it and getting to the tools I need isn't as easy as it once was. Plus I lost some of the original sleeves my fixed circs came in. I want to make myself a roll up case for my fixed, and separate ones for my dpns and hooks as well. I have plenty of scraps but need to get familiar with my sewing machine since I haven't had one since jr high until this last summer.
My wonderful mom made up her own pattern and sewed me a wonderful trifold case for fixed circular needles and DPNs.
I am a tailor for 30yrs but I dabble in knitting and crocheting. I been looking for something compact to put both knitting needles and crochet hooks in one place. I may have to sit down and design one for both that is the roll up style. I think those are best for storing for people like me who doesnt knit or crochet on a regular bases. I dont have as many as some im sure who knit and crochet all the time, but I have about 10pair of knitting needles and 2 pairs of circular needles and about 30 crochet hooks.
Thank you for all your research.

Very helpful.
I use binder and traveling hanging bag, thanks for sharing🌹🌹🌹
I crocheted a pretty cover for the inside of a toilet roll, then chained from each side so it could hang from a hook. I keep all my fixed circular needles in this and it has worked ok but I do like your idea of a binder and think I'll try that. Thanks for all your videos.
I made a roll for my straight needles. I keep my dpns in a perfume box. I also have some fixed circulars that were gifted me in the perfume box. My interchangeable circulars are used almost exclusively and I keep them in the cases in which they were sold. I have purchased a Pendleton wool case from KnitPicks to hold a set of interchangeables that came in a clear plastic case. After a few years use the plastic case needed to be replaced.
This was an interesting video. Thanks!
Hi Kristine I just discovered your videos and have really enjoyed them, esp. the one about the tiny needle comparison. I had never seen those before. I usually use 2 circular method and I have the new addi flexis on order to try out. It's nice that you're not sponsored and can give an unbiased review. Thanks again for the videos and all the links!
Hi Donna -- thanks so much. I have the Flexi Flip needles and am planning to talk about them in a future video. Thank you for watching. XO
I am using a hanging cloth shoe rack that hangs behind the closet door to store my knitting needles and crochet hooks. A DIY hanging circular needle hanger made by me is also hung on the clothes rack.
Good tips!
Thanks for the ideas. My biggest challenge is fixed circulars. I had thought of the binder but just hadn't gotten the supplies.
I enjoyed your video on storage solutions. I have been knitting for many years and as a consequence have accumulated a lot of needles. I use storage cases, of various types, but find the fixed circulars somewhat of a problem. So will try your binder. One idea that I have used for long double pointed is a chip can from the stacked chips like Pringles. I have used the tooth brush holder, but it is a tight fit with larger needles. The chip can works good. Thanks again. It was very comprehensive.
Hi Barbara -- I love your Pringles can idea for larger needles. :)
I have two aqua color Mason jars that I keep my (rarely used) straight needles in. The DPN's and circs have been a work in progress.. Right now I have the circs and DPN's in clear view vinyl pencil cases. One for each size with the circs and DPN's in the same pouch. The pouches are stored in one of the boxes I have for my Scrapbox crafting cabinet.
Thank you for the ideas!! My biggest problem is fixed circulars, I used to store them in a binder that I made using labelled nylon holders, but it was too hard for me to keep the system going after about two years as the collection grew.. I recently started using food storage boxes which I can keep in a drawer. Easy to find the needle I want based on the label on the box. My straights are actually stored in a long plastic tube that I found in an art store. It has a top and bottom and twists to stay closed. The interchangeables are in their own cases. My goal is to get all these things stored together.Eventually.
I have my straight and the few dpns I own in a cutlery carousel for kitchen utensils. As always love your videos. Thank you and enjoy your break from videos. Terry aka hondagirl126 😊
Thank you so much. I think I'll give the binder a try. You can buy pouches that clip in at the dollar store ( the kind that are meant for pencils). So I think I will buy some of those for my circulars. Thanks again.
I love a bamboo standing tube with a lid. I put a failed alpaca swatch on the bottom, to protect the tips of my double pointed needles. They all fit and it looks pretty in my craft space.
Yes, organize the organization!
Great Video I use the large 3 inch binder
I use notebooks with colorful pencil bags. I buy them about a month after school starts and they have been discounted. My bags have plastic "windows" so I can see inside. I take a marker and note the size on the bag. I use separate notebooks for smaller and larger circulars ; and, one exclusively for dpn's. Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee
I thank you so much for showing us all these choices & some are so lovely I really want to buy as I’ve recently bought the knit pro fixed circulars swivel as I really appreciate the swivel but the cords at a bit out there a bit too much memory to stop curling so I recently purchased but not yet received the knitpicks brand so I’ll see how that goes I’ll probably get either the Hiya Hiya or theChou Gu
There is one thing they haven’t thought of & that is putting a magnetic strip for storage of metal needles it’s a thought along the same idea for the ginger interchangeable set with magnet on the back side to place your pattern & ruler placement guide well we can live in hope 😂😂😂 thanks once again & I do value your opinion greatly 😊🙏💖💖
Hello Kristine, thank you for your ideas in the video. At the moment I use a catcrabbing mat wherein I prick the needles and then roll it. But seeing this video i might just change to another solution :))
Great information, I and currently using cardboard tubes to store straight needles and my yarn bowl holds my circular needles that are still in their original packaging. I have to get better organized because I have found that I have lots of the same size needles. Oh well, maybe I'll have a needle swap. That will help me get sizes that I need.
I have a fabric roll bag made by my daughter for my straight needles. My circulars I leave in the original cases, but haven't found a storage solution for them. You have given me some good ideas though.
Thanks for another great podcast. Your voice is just fine; comments like that are just mean. I use homemade roll ups for my dpns and straight needles. I use the hanging method for my fixed circulars and keep my interchangeable s in their original packaging.
Cool episode
love the idea of using the CD storage wallet- have an empty one at home
I used to use a project bag for dpns and fixed circulars, but I now use a zip case with Chinese characters on it that I bought on eBay that contained long stainless dpns and circulars (removed circulars) from China. For straights I use a quilted roll up with two rows (huge case) that was a gift. My fixed circulars go in a (smallish) Berkeley bait bag; a loose leaf holding zip lock bags for bait and fixed circulars. Dr Kelly's is a larger and nicer bait bag. Took me years to organize them all, but I'm so glad that I did.
Enjoyed Victoria also.
