Causeway

Sort knitting needles and hooks by length

A stand for knitting needles and crochet hooks built like the Giant’s Causeway. Five hexagonal basalt columns step down from 200 to 40 mm, so long straight needles go in the tall column and double points, cables and hooks in the shorter ones, each sorted by length and in reach.
