PROJECT BAG:

This small project bag is handmade with 100% Quilter's Cotton, Cotton Canvas and fully lined (in a soft beige gingham cotton). It includes a light layer of fusing for some stability, but is still soft enough to easily fold over and use as a project basket for your knitting.

Each bag is hand sewn and includes a gold tassel. 

This small size project bag measures approximately 9"wide x 9 1/4"high with a 3"wide wedge depth. This pattern/print has a large range of colours and design elements. Each bag is unique and may not be exactly as shown in the photo.



It is perfect for knitter's, crocheter's and other crafters. It is sized perfectly for a 1-2 skein project.



For your zipper to function best, always use the metal zipper pull to open and close your bag. Grabbing onto the tassel to open and close your bag may cause it to get caught and not function smoothly.

Care Instructions

I highly recommend hand washing your knit items in cool or lukewarm water using a pH-neutral wool wash to keep them looking beautiful for as long as possible.

I use colorfast acid dyes for dyeing my yarn and rinse until the water runs clear. However, there is a chance that some dye may bleed slightly during the first few washes. For this reason, I suggest washing your items separately, especially during the first couple of washes.

If you have them available, it’s a good idea to use a "colour catcher" (similar to dryer sheets), which can be found in the laundry section of most stores. Some dyes, especially highly saturated colors like reds, blues, or speckled skeins, are more prone to bleeding. This is common for both hand-dyed and commercially dyed wool.

Important: Avoid washing your items in hot water, as this can break the bond between the fiber and the dye, potentially causing bleeding.
