This pattern is written for handspinners because it is a bag to hold oil for the spinning wheel. I guess you could use it as a lipstick case as well, since they are approximately the same size. If you substitute commercial yarn, please use laceweight such as Jojoland Melody, Malabrigo laceweight, etc. Fiber in bag shown is a section out of “January Watercolors” Blue Face Leicester/Tussah Silk top from Three Waters Farm.
