Northeast Fiber Arts Center

This yarn is spun using only cellulosic fibers and it features fibers from pineapple leaves, apparently a large by-product of the pineapple harvesting process. 

 

Smoother and softer than jute, but a similar idea: tough and rugged so perfect for summer bags.

 

Whether you want to crochet or knit, this is a great option.

 

This yarn is recommended used on a 5-5.5 mm (US 8 - 9 or hook size I - J) and each ball has 218 yards. 

 

The bag pictured used 1 ball, but uses a faux leather bottom, so if you want to knit or crochet the bottom, your bag dimensions with 1 skein would be a bit smaller.
