About this Product
Three different colored strands of 8/4 cotton yarn were held together to create this stretchy market bag. The round base, approximately10-inches in diameter was working in single crochet to provide structure and help ensure small objects don't escape. The body of the bag measures approximately 12-inches; the main portion is 11-inches in length and was completed in double-half crochet, a more stretchy stitch that allows for expansion as objects, like fresh vegetables are added, the final four rows reverted back to single crochet to again provide structure. The strap consists of two facing rows of single crochet beginning at one side, connecting to the opposite side and then turning and continuing back to its starting point, so that this bag is one continuous piece. The strap is approximately 37-inches long, able to be used as a cross-body or over the shoulder market bag. If too long, simply place an overhand knot in the strap to customize to your needs.

Lyon Handwovens - handwoven textiles using sustainable and rescued yarns and vintage and repurposed fabrics
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.
How it’s Made
In the winter when daylight fades faster, we spend more time binging streaming series, I need something to keep my hands busy (I can sit still, I just can't keep my hands still). As a result ideas I have throughout the year have an opportunity to become prototypes and as often happens my daughter becomes the owner and tester of the prototype, which means not only does she give me feedback, but the notes to myself, regarding changes and improvements, while working on the prototype get used in the subsequent product. Making the strap a continuation of the body was one of those improvements. I thought making the strap a separate piece added a weakness to the overall integrity of the bag.

Packaging: In an effort to provide environmentally friendly packaging, I try to use products that contain recycled post-consumer materials, as little plastic as possible and to the extent feasible packaging the buyer can reuse. This is an ongoing journey and in some areas I am using up existing inventory before changing to a better source.
