A project bag is judged in a shop on how it looks and in use on whether the yarn comes out cleanly and the needles do not escape. Those are different criteria and only the second one matters after a week.
A grommet changes how a bag is used
A bag with a yarn feed hole can stay closed while you work, which means it can sit on the floor of a bus. Without one, the bag has to be open and the ball is loose.
Flat bottoms sit, round bottoms tip
A bag that stands on its own beside a chair is a different object from one that slumps. This single feature accounts for most of the difference in how much a bag gets used.
Interior pockets for the sharp things
Loose needles, scissors and hooks work their way to the bottom and through the lining. A dedicated pocket, ideally a stiff one, keeps them findable and keeps the bag intact.

What it costs
Across project bags and storage at Yarn Haven prices currently run from $9.99 to $25.99. In project bags and storage that spread is mostly build quality and pack size rather than brand name: the cheapest option on this shelf is a reasonable place to start, and the dearest earns the difference in daily use rather than on the specification sheet.
Questions we get at the counter
What does delivery cost?
US orders of $25 and over ship free. A flat $4.25 applies below that. We ship to United States addresses only.
Which hook size should I buy?
Match the size printed on your yarn band. If you are between sizes, most of our sets cover 2mm to 10mm so you can try both.

Side by side
The table below pulls the published figures off the 3 project bags and storage listings above so they can be compared without opening six tabs. A dash means the manufacturer of that project bags and storage did not state the figure, not that the item lacks it, because Yarn Haven does not fill those gaps with estimates. Where a number matters to your decision and the table shows a dash, call +1 212-995-5991 and we will measure the item at the 45 Avenue A counter in about a minute.

How the rest of the shop is laid out
Yarn Haven keeps a deliberately narrow crochet and knitting tools range, split into the sections below. The counts and price bands are read from the live yarnhaven.shop catalogue at the moment this page was built, so they show the actual shape of the the East Village shelf rather than a marketing summary of it. If a section looks small, that is because Yarn Haven would rather stock a few things we can answer questions about than list everything a distributor offers.
| Section | Items | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Crochet Hooks | 8 | $5.99 – $28.99 |
| Project Bags and Storage | 3 | $9.99 – $25.99 |
| Tension Rings and Guides | 5 | $7.99 – $36.99 |
| Yarn and Notions | 3 | $1.22 – $8 |
| Yarn Holders and Bowls | 3 | $26.99 – $27.99 |
Reading a product page here
Every listing on yarnhaven.shop is written from the manufacturer specification, and where the manufacturer is silent Yarn Haven leaves the field out rather than fill the gap, which is why some crochet and knitting tools pages are shorter than others. The details block on each page carries the figures that were actually published — pack quantity, size, material and compatibility — and the paragraph underneath says which part of the the East Village shelf the item belongs to. Anything not covered there is a question for +1 212-995-5991, and Yarn Haven would rather answer it before an order than process a return afterwards. Stock counts come from the same records the counter uses, so an item showing as available is an item on the shelf at 45 Avenue A.
