POMEGRANATE TWEED TOTE

The three yarns used to knit this tote are all dyed in the same colorway. One
of them is significantly thicker than the other two, so the lighter-weight ones
are doubled to make the yarns more balanced. The thicker yarn also has less
yardage, so it is used less frequently than the other two yarns.
