Patons Soy Wool Stripe



I bought some of this new yarn, and I REALLY like it. The way the colors blend reminds of the Noro yarn that is perpetually out of stock at my LYS (and spendy). I made up this little pattern for a Baguette Bag. The ends turned out differently than I expected but I like it. I still need to create closure tabs and handles.

  2. It's beautiful! Is the bottom picture felted? Sara from Crochetchallenge has some of that yarn and she's going to make a felted bag with it.

  3. Yes, the bottom one is after going through the wash twice. I REALLY like the way the colors blended.
