Recommended Yarns for Your Crochet Scrap Yarn Bag
For this crochet scrap yarn bag, I highly recommend using #4 worsted-weight cotton leftover yarn. Cotton is strong, doesn’t stretch, and is perfect for creating a sturdy bag that can handle everyday use.
For my Delilah Bag, I used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton Yarn, mixing in leftovers from other projects I’ve made. This yarn is my go-to for crochet bags—it’s the same one I used for my popular Vicki Bag and Coco Knot Bags. It’s incredibly durable, holds its shape beautifully, and comes in so many great color options. Perfect for turning those scraps into something functional and beautiful!
Yarn Bee Fundamental Cotton and Caron All Day Cotton are both fantastic choices and will work wonderfully for this project as well! If you have any other #4 worsted-weight cotton yarn in your stash, feel free to use it!

Do I Need to Line My Crochet Scraps Purse?
That really depends on how you plan to use your crochet scrap yarn tote bag. If you’re just carrying lightweight items—like yarn, small accessories, or using it as a casual crochet purse—you might be just fine without a lining.
But if you want to add some extra durability, prevent stretching, and give the inside a nice, clean finish, I definitely recommend adding one. A lining helps your bag hold its shape over time and keeps it looking neat inside.
Don’t worry—it’s a simple process that only takes basic sewing skills. I’ve included an easy-to-follow lining tutorial to guide you through it. It’s a small extra step, but totally worth it for that polished, long-lasting finish!
