Trudy Van Stralen - Felted Handbag Created with LNA Clyde

"Clyde is a multi-colored bouclé yarn that when felted creates a spectacular effect. This versatile handbag, which is offered in 2 lengths, shows off the colors and texture splendidly. It is knit in one piece entirely in stockinette stitch with the inside seams joined using single crochet, writes Louet North america. LNA describes this felted hangbag designed by Trudy Van Stralen:

  Louet North America writes,

"Clyde is the same yarn as Bonnie, but created as a boucle. The wool/silk (95/5) blend uses a slightly different composition due to yarn construction. The boucle multi color yarn allows knitters and felters to add a different texture to their creations. Clyde is available in the same color range as Bonnie; however, due to the boucle, the colors do look different."
