Each uses just one skein of Rowan’s Tapestry yarn and size #5 beads. The subtle color changes are fun to watch unfold and the beads add that special bit of pizazz. (But you can substitute lighter weight worsted wool yarn, like Brown Sheep’s Nature Spun and Paton’s Classic Wool and use up leftovers and single balls from your stash!)

The eyeglass case is presented in three sizes (clip-ons/reading glasses, standard and Jackie O.) The Essentials Pouch was designed as a “personal articles” bag for your purse, but was so pretty it morphed into a little evening bag with the addition of a beaded strap.
