market bag with matching mini purse

This bag is made from some bumpy cotton yarn that was bright white. I dyed it with cedar needles. I made the mini puse with a long cord I can tie to the big bag. I put my wallet in it and no longer have to dig to find it. Just pull on the cord and presto! Dinero!!

All your hand-dyed yarns are lovely. These bags are great, especially the little one that is magically filled with dinero, LOL. Really, I'd like them even with no magic. What size is the yarn, a worsted weight?

Thanks for your comments, pauline3. I would say yes, the yarn is worsted, a little on the heavy side

That is a really cool bag! I can see how useful it would be on farmers market day, or any market day in fact! How did you get to that color?

Thanks for your nice comments, Joy B. I used copper as a mordant with the cedar needles.
