I want to knit a little makeup bag for myself, I'm familiar with how to knit and I think I can make a bag pretty easilyI'm just wondering what is the best type of yarn/needle gauge/technique would be best for making something durable and not too stretchy so that little brushes and pencils stay in it? I don't really want links to sites telling me how to knit and what not, but any tips you might have for this particular project would be greatThanks!

Depending on your personal preference, these materials and techniques would produce a usable makeup bag: 1Use cotton yarnCotton is durable and not too stretchy, especially when it is knit on smaller needles than you'd use for garment knitting with the same yarnYou can find cotton yarn in several sizes, although probably worsted or DK weight would suit your purposeOr you could use heavy crochet cotton and US 1 or 2 needles to make a lightweight bag2Use any yarn you like and line the bag with tightly woven cotton fabric3Use untreated 100% wool yarn labeled suitable for felting (some animal fibers don't felt as well as others)Knit the bag large enough to accommodate the shrinkage inherent in feltingAdvantage: Adding felted and other decorations creates a unique and stunning accessoryDrawback: While felted wool isn't elastic, it will stretch with use-and it does not go back to the original shape once stretched.
