Felting Frenzy
February 19th, 2007 by Jen Love
My fingers have been busy lately! I have become really addicted to felting, which is knitting with wool yarn and washing it to shrink it about 1/3 of its original size. I have posted several times before about the magical mytery of felting and wanted to show off the WIP from a few weeks ago that is finally finished! I can’t stop lately. As soon as I finish one I cast on another. Right now I am working on a gray bag with a pink, puple, ivory, and gray swirly border.
I have an orange bag just like the green one that I often carry and have been encouraged by friends to try and make them to sell so I am excited to try it out. (Anyone interested?)
I am so happy with how they have turned out, which I can’t always say about my work. Felting is magical!

They are beautiful. I especially like the green one.

Looks nice Jen. Are you dying your own yarns?

Lovely! You should certainly sell them on etsy- just make sure you get enough $ to cover your time and materials. My friend sells felted bags, and does pretty well. I also like the bags with felted bodies and bamboo handles… so many options! Great work!
