Aptly named, the Float Tote is made for your colorwork projects! With three (or five!) detachable buckets, you can take your multi-skein project on the go. I like to put my buckets in a line on the table in front of me, then snap them back into place when I put my project away. Less space? You can also fold back the large bag and keep your little buckets inside, placing the whole thing on your lap.
