Wool Hand Bags

Here's one of our original bag designs crocheted from green and cream wool - I think that mixing the two wool colours together creates a nice colour effect.


A cherry motif was added and the bag was lined with an apple print cotton fabric.


Thought I'd also put up some pictures of the bags I've created from wool a while ago from patterns that I came across in my google travels.




The green bag ended up MUCH bigger (and heavier) than what I predicted. It was meant to be knitted then felted, but being the first bag I knitted and attempted to felt, I didn't keep the felting process going for long enough for the fibers to shrink. Still, it makes a nice decorative piece!
