When I stumbled over the work of Sai of Monkeybear Handwork Studio, I immediately knew that her thoughtful designs and the impressive process behind each piece would be the perfect fit for Elk market yarn. These bags are not only beautiful and well suited to keeping your knitting or other craft project safe and organised - they are also hand sewn in Sai's studio, using hand printed fabrics.
Each fabric design begins as a sketch and once the pattern is ready, it's transferred to silk screens that are used to hand print the fabrics. Each colour needs to dry before moving on to the next, and the pattern repeat needs to match up across the width of the fabric. After the fabric is finished, the cutting and sewing of the bags begin - truly a work of craftmanship from start to finish!
The Metal fram pouch was the first bag that caught my eye because it has a very nifty construction - a metal frame allows it to remain wide open. Once you're done, the metal zipper closes the "mouth" of the bag and makes sure all your things are stored safely within. So smart!
All inks used in Monkeybear items are hand mixed, water based and produced in Sweden.
Size: 30 cm x 14.5 cm, 19 cm tall Fully lined with two open pockets and one zipper pocket on the inside. Comfortably fits a sweater project!
