Pocketful of Joy Bag
$0.00
Simple, sturdy, and endlessly useful, the Pocketful of Joy Bag is designed to be an easy, satisfying knit with plenty of room for customization. Knit flat, the multicolored, garter-stitch fabric creates a bag that’s perfect for everyday wear. Wildflower yarn forms the main portion of the bag, with yarns from a Mini Skein Sampler Kit added in, using intarsia, to create blocks of color and texture. Use it as a clutch, or attach a strap to make it a shoulder bag, or cross-body bag.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
