Linda M. Perry created two beautiful bargello bags (one structured and one soft) to accompany her article in the Spring 2022 issue of Spin Off. Great for beginners and seasoned stitchers, these lovely bags can multitask as spindle storage, a knitting-needle caddy, a wine bag, or a cute all-purpose tote. They are an ideal project to make the most of a treasured multicolor handspun, an overdyed needlepoint yarn, or many different colors of tapestry wool. Remember that bargello pieces benefit from color selections that have contrast. Because these are designed to be worked on a 12-count canvas, test any substituted yarn to make sure you are pleased with the coverage. Experiment! The eye-catching geometric patterns that bargello is known for look complicated but are very enjoyable to create.

Needle cases are a practical necessity for stitchers, and a small-scale bargello pattern offers a great opportunity to learn the technique.
