Create & Carry ‘Bag-ette’ Yarn Weaving Kits by Susy Perrine
$44.00
Learn to weave a fun “bag-ette” with this all-in-one kit by fiber artist Susy Perrine of Woolwich, ME.
Using simple techniques you will weave in the round to create a handy small bag, big enough to carry your keys and phone, passport, or other treasure. Susy’s handspun and dyed yarn (GORGEOUS by the way!) is extra-bulky and will weave up quickly. Finish by adding the enclosed shoulder strap, felted closure flap, and button. Cotton calico fabric will be included if you wish to add a lining.
Your finished little bag will measure about 4.5″ wide x 5.5″ tall.
Included in this full kit are: 60″ cord for handle, large eye needle, thread, metal binder clip, rubber band, felt closure flap, fabric lining, and a 4.25″ x 12″ board loom, and handspun bulk yarn. All colors within each kit coordinate (yarn, felt, cotton, thread, and button.) See photos and drop down menu for color availability.
Skills: Beginner, some sewing skills required.
