Spots 'n stripes bag SOLD

This bag was knitted using multiple threads of yarn - very light blue/grey, navy, purple and aqua - and some of this was a good haul of yarn from a charity shop which I'm just starting to work my way through.

The bag was knitted by hand and then felted in the washing machine - theres a post on how to do this here, which also has a link to the website where I got the pattern for this bag.

There are 2 little pockets on the outside, one on each end - knitted and felted as part of the bag, and suitable for a mobile phone, or tickets or... other little things...


The bag is finished by hand and lined with vintage fabric and there are 2 internal pockets in the lining.


Here the bag is turned inside out to show the lining and pockets:


The bag is finished and closes with a vintage button.


The measurements are: about 13.5inches/34cm across, measured flat, and 11 inches/28cm from the top edge to the base. The base is 10 inches/25.5cm by 4 inches/10cm.

The handles are 34inches / 86.5 cm long.



Felting is a very ancient textile technique - though far easier and quicker in a washing machine than by hand - and its very tough. This bag should last and last and cope with wear and tear, and its washable by hand, or sponge-able, or could go into a gentle, cool machine wash.
