This unruly, one of a kind bag is is made from my own handspun artyarn called
"Happy Easter Accident". It will make a great evening bag or a spring accessory!
I knitted the body of the purse, then used another of my handspun yarns--a simple purple with
heathered silk noil--to crochet the edges, add the handles and finish the top. The handles
are black plastic commercial rings. I used a coral colored cotton quilting fabric to line
the purse. It's neatly hand stitched in place.
This handbag measures about 11" across, 7" tall (10-1/2 including the handles), and about 2" deep.
It should hold a wallet, check book, phone, and a few odds and ends. Yarn is made from wool, alpaca, sparkle
Cotswold wool locks, mohair, silk noil. Hand wash, stuff with plastic bags to reshape, hang or dry flat.
This purse is out on consingment... Please inquire about availability and I'll let you know if I still have it.
