| I knit a bag using 4 strands of wool yarn held together as I knit. I had a blue, a yellow and 2 off -white colors of yarn. |
 |
| This is the bag after knitting, but before felting it. |
 |
| I also knit a long I-cord with 5 stitches and 4 strands of yarn held together, for the strap. |
 |
| This is the result after felting it in my washing machine and adding the handle to the bag. It came out a bit shorter in height than I wanted, and a bit wider in width, but you just never know how each yarn and project will felt until after it's been washed. The sunshine has lightened the colors a bit. |

| The colors are more true here in this photo. Looks a bit taller hanging on the door knob (and my shoulder). |
Pin It Now!
great job, i particularly like how the i-cord felted, great idea for a handle.

How cute is that bag Daryl ?!? I haven't felted anything yet but I plan to try it someday soon :*)
ReplyDeleteLove it. It always amazes me how felting can make it so much nicer. I'd love to try this one day.

I've just started experimenting with making felt and you've given me some new ideas, Daryl.
