Snail-Cat (Paris, 1485) Magnetic Needle Keeper by Primitive & Wood (P&W)
Designer embroidery accessories
A whimsical and compact needle case featuring the delightful snail-cat — a curious creature from a Parisian Bible manuscript dated 1485.
• Size: 60 × 60 × 15 mm (approx. 2.4 × 2.4 × 0.6")
• Maximum needle length (diagonal fit): 68 mm (2.7")
• Holds standard sewing, beading, and tapestry needles
• Inside: strong magnetic disc keeps needles securely in place
• Closes firmly with 2 pairs of reinforced neodymium magnets
• Print is sealed and the surface is hand-sanded smooth – will not fade or wear off
Don’t be fooled by the compact size — this little box can safely hold a variety of needle types. Shake it, drop it — the magnets will keep it shut tight and your needles safely tucked inside.
Inspired by the joyful oddities of medieval manuscript margins, this snail-cat is as functional as it is fantastical.
