This labour intensive project included hand dying selected fibres, carding a lovely light cream to black gradient, spinning the fibre and plying, wet setting the yarn, knitting the bag, fulling the fabric, and finally crocheting a handle.

Features:

~Fibres included: Merino, mulberry silk & mohair, waxed cotton cord.

~Hand made, crochet i-cord style handle and upper rim.

~"Self lined" - intentionally no inner lining is used in this bag, to maximise the enjoyment of this yarn! (But be aware that knit fabric naturally has small holes, especially when the fabric is stretched, so not the right bag to store very small items!

Measurements:

~21.5cm at widest point.

~18cm from rim to base, 31cm from top of handle to base

~31cm handle.

My handmade bags are created with versatility in mind they are equally as useful for:

~unique handbags & purses

~fibre-related projects such as knitting and crochet (small portable projects).

~art supplies such as markers & pencils, or even small sketchbooks, travel watercolours (my absolute favourite!!!)

~travel/make-up/toiletry bags, and

~and make great gifts!

Care Instructions:

~Note: Merino will pill over time, de-pill as needed.

~I recommend hand washing bag in a mild detergent to ensure longevity, and ensure they don’t pick up other stray colours in the wash! Dry flat.

Disclaimer:

~I try my best to provide an accurate representation of colour, but some differences may occur over different devices, that is completely out of my control.

~Consider bag suitability for purpose (natural texture and small holes of knit fabric).
