Is it safe to come out?

I'm just peeking my head out to say the bag isn't felted, but you have to put in a lining to prevent it from dropping down to your feet the minute you put any knitting in it.

The pattern is from Kristin Nicholas and she used Classic Elite Montera (half llama, half wool). I've used Montera before, for a co-worker's hat. It's nice yarn, but a bit on the rough side, which I guess is fine for a bag.

I wonder if she used it because most things that are steeked are wool and I've read that part of the reason the steek shouldn't unravel (i'm still not convinced the whole thing won't unravel) is that it should be slightly felted (i think the official term is 'fulled', but don't quote me on that).

I wanted to sub some really great yarn, but I think I should just stick with the Montera for now.

I doubt they will have the same color combo, but if they don't, give me your two cents.

(The color combo now is a burnt orange, and a mocha with a lima bean green as accent, which i like, but any advice is welcomed)
