Raindrop Bag – Featuring Joshua II – DK Weight Alpaca+ Rambouillet Wool + Hemp

Original price was: $88.00.Current price is: $50.00.

The Raindrop Bag has been a customer favorite for years—and honestly, it is easy to see why.

It is clever, beautiful and knit seamlessly in one piece. Even better, there are no pieces to sew together when you finish!

Sculptural cables and delicate lace panels create gorgeous texture and movement. As a result, the bag is visually interesting while still having the structure it needs to be truly useful.

Pair the pattern with Joshua II—our American Fiber Mosaic—and this project really begins to shine. Joshua II blends 40% American alpaca, 40% American wool and 20% American hemp. After all, sustainability should never be boring!

The alpaca and wool provide softness, warmth and elasticity. Meanwhile, the hemp adds strength, structure and a durable, lower-impact component to the blend.

However, the real magic happens in the dye pot. Because protein and cellulose fibers absorb color differently, beautiful variations naturally emerge throughout the yarn. As a result, your finished fabric develops depth, dimension and plenty of those wonderful little “ooh” moments.

Ultimately, Joshua II creates a fabric that is rich, dimensional and perhaps just a tiny bit of an overachiever. Therefore, your finished Raindrop Bag will not only look beautiful—it will perform beautifully, too.
