Hand-Dyed Washi Project Bag

Tote your favorite knitting and stitching projects in style! These bags are made of sheets of durable paper that are individually dyed with care by artisans using traditional Japanese colors. They gain more texture with each use, as they get wrinkles that are unique to washi (just like the patch on the back of your old Levi's jeans).

The beautiful effect colors on the inside also attract the eye. They stand out for their inside pockets and card rings of various sizes. Because of the lightness, durability, and resistance to tearing of washi, this is a bag that is easy to carry around.
