This simple bag is knitted loosely, in a single piece, then felted in your washing machine. The handle is knitted in I-cord and attached before felting/fulling. During the felting process the bag will shrink considerably and become much sturdier. Any embellishments must be added after this felting stage, including wool tassels of course!

The exact size of your finished bag will depend on wool and felting temperatures used.

The wool used must not be superwash or machine-washable varieties.
