DIGGOne of a kind purse made from a reclaimed, hand knitted sweater. The gorgeous cable stitch is an eye catcher, one flowing stitch (once the neck piece, now a fab shoulder strap). Original buttons up the side make this orange knit bag multi-functional. Button it up to the top for an over the shoulder style, unbutton a few and wear it across your chest!
I lined the purse with reclaimed material from shirts and pants, for extra support.
Because this comes from reclaimed sweaters, unless it's noted here the specific type of yarn is unknown.
100% RECRAFTED/RECLAIMED
