- Loopy Mango project bag
- Knitting Needles - OPTIONAL
Note: This project requires size US17 (12 mm) 32’’ (80 cm) and size US15 (10 mm) 32’’. For sleeves and neckband you will need to use magic loop method because the length of the needle is too long. To avoid magic loop for the sleeves you can optionally use a shorter circular needle size US17 20’’ OR US17 DPN’s. For the cuffs of the sleeves you can optionally use size US15 DPN’s. For the neckband you can optionally use either a shorter circular needle size US15 20’’ OR US15 DPN’s.
NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
Fiber Content Note: Dream TWEED colors Flamingo, Blue Lagoon, Blacksmith and Stardust have different fiber content: 82% merino, 13% wool, 5% viscose.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
