All knitters have a stash. You might have knit many scarves and have novelty yarns in your stash. Or you might have partial balls of yarns that felt from various felting projects. This purse is a great way to use up some of your stash and have a beautiful purse. Ours was made of stash yarn. There are 16 different colors of Brown Sheep - Lamb's Pride worsted and 16 different novelties. To make this purse from scratch would cost a zillion dollars.

There are different ways of making an equally attractive, less expensive purse. It takes a combination (1 strand of Lamb's Pride worsted and 1 strand of novelty yarn held together) of approximately 25 yards to make a 4-round stripe.

Our customers have made many combinations:

•  Sixteen colors of Lamb's Pride worsted and sixteen different   novelties - A
•  Four colors Lamb's Pride worsted and four novelties in 4 round  stripes - B
•  One color Lamb's Pride worsted and four novelties - C
•  One color Lamb's Pride worsted throughout with as many   novelties as desired in 4 round stripes
•  Two colors of Lamb's Pride worsted and two novelties 4 round  stripes
•  One color alternating stripes of Lamb's Pride worsted  without        novelty and with same novelty throughout
  

There are an unlimited number of combinations.

This purse requires approximately 3 pull skeins of Lamb's pride worsted when using one color felting yarn or a combination of approximately 570 yards
