The Industrious Maker - Vintage Cotton Reel Needle Keeper
- Worldwide Shipping Available
These lovely needle keepers are made in the UK by The Industrious Maker, Gill Flury.
Gill's design process involves the collection of an ephemera of vintage sewing items and packaging which are photographed, drawn from and digitally manipulated to create unique modern sewing accessories with a vintage style.
Made with a vintage cotton reel, pure Shetland felt and a super strong magnet, each one of these needle holders is unique. Pop on metal surfaces to keep your needles handy, on its side or even upside down the needles stay in place. The luscious thick felt is also great for minding your extra needles on the side.
Please note, each cotton reel is unique and will vary slightly in its condition and the colour shown on the label, some labels may have creases in them but this is part of the vintage charm and history of the object.
Contents not included, shown here with our Tulip Embroidery Needles and shizuku pins. You could even use them to store our tiny scissors!
IMPORTANT: The magnet is very strong and should not be placed near to items that could be affected by magnets such as pacemakers and mobile phones. Keep away from young children.

o Store and use away from children and pets. Never let children play with magnets
o If ingested, seek medical treatment immediately.
o Always slide magnets apart against the attracted faces – do not prise them apart. If two strong magnets need to be separated, use a strong non-magnetic surface, such as a wooden table or desk. Ensure that there are no magnetic materials including things such as supports or legs in the path of the magnet during the separation. Overhang one magnet at the edge of the desk and apply a strong downward pressure to separate. Once separated, continue the motion to keep the magnet moving to a safe distance of 500mm.
o Check item regularly for sign of damage, loose magnets and sharp edges.
o Stop using broken, weak or damaged items immediately.
o Keep a safe distance (50mm+) between other all objects that can be damaged by magnetism including mechanical watches, heart pacemakers, CRT monitors and televisions, credit cards, diskettes and other magnetically stored media.
o Store away from other magnetic items.
I'm just delighted with the Industrious Maker. I bought one for myself and one as a gift. The recipient of the gift was as thrilled as I was with this lovely needle holder. We were also thrilled that it used old wooden cotton reals in its construction.. Thanks as always to Beyond Measure for finding such amazing and original things.
