Summary
A small crocheted cylindrical bag with a crocheted drawstring slotted through the top, possibly a hair tidy (used to collect hair from one's hairbrush to be saved to make a false 'bun'). It is yellow with a blue design worked around the middle and blue edging at the top and bottom. The circular base is crocheted in a flower pattern. The yellow drawstring terminates in a finely worked disc or flower at each end and one end is threaded through the centre of the other.
