Their commitment to American wool, quality craftsmanship, and natural fibers left a lasting impression on me and helped shape my appreciation for thoughtfully made yarn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor that reason, it feels especially meaningful to be working with Brown Sheep Company on a pattern that took years to create.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lucy Claire Bag is knit in Brown Sheep Company's Harborside Aran, a newer yarn line crafted from a blend of 50% Rambouillet and 50% Columbia wool. I was fortunate to discover this yarn during the development of the pattern, as the combination of these two sheep breeds fulls beautifully into an exceptionally dense and durable felted fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat quality is essential to the Lucy Claire design. After the fulling process, the fabric develops the structure needed to support the generous size of the bag while maintaining its sculptural silhouette and soft, organic lines. The result is a fabric that feels substantial, durable, and made to last.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the qualities I appreciate most about fulled wool is its natural resistance to moisture. The dense felted fabric creates a practical barrier against the elements, making the bag well suited for everyday use in all seasons. Having carried felted wool bags for years, I know from experience that being caught in a rainstorm—or even a blizzard—does not mean the contents inside your bag will end up wet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarborside Aran made it possible to create exactly the fabric I envisioned for Lucy Claire: heirloom-quality, naturally durable, beautifully sculptural, and designed to be used and enjoyed for years to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a digital download (PDF)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo physical item will be shipped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour pattern will be available immediately after purchase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Janice Creative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069117218969,"sku":"LUCYCLAIRE","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/4363\/2444\/files\/IMG_3118.jpg?v=1777946832","url":"https:\/\/www.janicecreative.com\/products\/lucy-claire","provider":"Janice Creative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
