Union Jack Bag Pattern

£2.00

What better way to show your dedication to British farmers, sheep and yarns than by making a union flag bag?! The red, white and blue really says everything you need it to say, but if you fancy being more individual play around with subtle or wacky colour and texture combinations. Felting is a fun way to transform soft yarns into practical accessories by just throwing them in the washing machine! Texere Troon Tweed is spun in oil, so knits very easily and totally changes when washed. Texere Airedale Aran is softer, without flecks and felts even easier. Try combining the two for unusual textures & effects.
This pattern has two designs included - red-white-blue & Green style bags

Simply Knitting said, "Lesley Stanfield clearly has a keen eye for flowers, as they burst out from the pages of this pretty book. From forget-me-not to poinsettia and lily-of-the-valley to mistletoe, garden favourites and exotic blooms, you'll find everything you need to make a bright bouquet or a pretty wreath ? including leaves, a few friendly insects such as a ladybird and a bee, and even fruit and veg! Each of the 100 patterns has clear written instructions to either knit or crochet the item, and the crochet patterns are also charted, making it really easy to see how the flower is constructed. You'll find great ideas for how to use finished flowers in the back of the book.?

<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong>C4 Linen Collection</strong></span>

C4 Linen Collection
This is a fabulous recycled pure linen yarn in lots of fabulous colours with a 24% discount when buying bulk quantities. An excellent yarn for weaving in the warp and weft, macrame and braiding, knitting and crochet. This strong yarn is also excellent for braids and tassels and any project needing a strong yarn in rich, muted shades or subtle neutrals. The yarn is fairly crisp and has little drape making it excellent for knitting or crocheting into vessels, placements and bags.

However, knit or crochet it into garments, throw in the washing machine and tumble drier and it transforms into a soft, wearable yarn. We've also designed a brilliant string bag to create your very own "bag for life". One spool will make two bags - see the patterns section of the site for more details.

Originally this yarn was 4 fold 10's metric. However, there were only 5 shades (Connemara) and there was demand for more colours. We have now added more, but some of these recent yarns are finer than the originals. This means that the yarns may, in some cases, be of differing thicknesses from colour to colour - equivalent to approx 10/4 - 10/3nm and the meterage per spool is between 900m-1200m.
