Our favorite needlepoint light to use when you're traveling is portable, lightweight and well-priced.
We're heading into summer and this means traveling with your needlepoint - we hope!
Our favorite travel light for being able to see your needlepoint when you're away from home is the Hammerhead LED light. It's useful for at-home stitching, too, but the reason we're mentioning it today is its portability.
The Hammerhead is lightweight and clips right on to your stretcher bars. Powered by AAA batteries, you can happily stitch away on a bus, a plane or a train.
The Hammerhead LED light has six bright-white, energy-efficient bulbs, and two brightness levels. The flexible neck allows you to direct the light where you need it. When it comes time to move on, the light folds up and fits in your project bag.
Don't suffer through dim hotel lighting again - pack and go with this handy portable needlepoint light ($27.00). Batteries are included!
