Lustre Fancy Yarn, distributed in UK by Wilkinson,
50% polyester, 50% acrylic.
It has a metallic look, so its hard to photograph. I loved working with it, its smooth and soft. (Though I had a hard time weaving in the ends with a large needle.)
These are the three keychain purses I made, I bought 2 pairs of fancy silver earrings, which I used to embellish the purse. I also bought 3 charm bracelets, to put in each of the purses, it was a nice gift!...but I think they liked the bracelets more :p
Yesterday, I made another one of the purse keychain, since I have one more of the earring to embellish it. I tried to get a good shot, but still...
So, I scanned it...
I prefer the color in the scanned image and it's really cute! And I just thought that it would be a great idea to give as gifts to everyone else. Too bad, no fancy yarn for me so my FO won't be as cute as yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat nice gifts!!

ReplyDeleteI have a google alert that comes to my email every time my name or my book Positively Crochet! is mentioned on the web, Just wanted to let you know this page of your blog came right to my email! Thanks! Your purse key chains are adorable and I think it's a great idea to place a little gift such as a bracelet down inside. I wish I had thought of that to put as a suggestion in the book!
