Butterflies are often associated with Spring, but the one
on this bag is inspired by the Blue Morpho butterfly with
its deep blue colors. Together with the brown and the
orange, this results in a warm autumnal palet.

This versatile felted bag is strong enough to carry your
laptop or groceries without losing its shape. It’s also a
great knitting bag, since straight needles won’t pop out
from the top. If you are going to use it as a laptop case,
please add a lining; your computer will love you for
keeping the tiny wool fibers out of the machinery.
