Description from Knitty.com:

The yarn itself appears fragile and yet is very strong, and this again repeats in the bag. This paper yarn is made from linen, which gives it both strength and structure.

The bag itself is relatively simple to knit, however some extra construction work is required for the internal shell. If you've ever built a doll's house from a cardboard box you're nearly there.
