About the yarn & bags:
Please note that no two Ö-lander bags are ever exactly identical. Because every piece is hand-crafted, the sizes and overall appearance of the same model may vary slightly.
T-shirt yarn is a unique, upcycled material, consisting of ~ 70% cotton and ~30% mixed fibers, meaning that the thickness of the yarn and the exact color shades can change from one batch to another. To adapt to these natural variations, different crochet hook sizes must sometimes be used, or the row counts slightly adjusted. If you place two bags of the same model side by side, you might notice subtle differences in their stitch tension or dimensions.
Similarly, yarn colors can vary just like clothing-just as two yellow t-shirts can have slightly different undertones, yarn ordered at different times may come from separate dye lots with minor shade & width variations.
Most of the yarn is bought but some of it is also made by myself.
How to care for our bags:
Gently spot clean with warm water and mild soap if needed. Shape and dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry to preserve the bag's unique structure.
To prevent the straps and body from stretching out of shape, avoid hanging the bag by its handles, especially when it is loaded with your daily essentials. Store it sitting flat on a shelf when not in use.
