Celtic Knot Felted Purse by Cynthia Pilon Designs

This roomy bag is knit a single piece, in the round, from the bottom up. The closure is a simple celtic knot which slides up and down the two straps. Instructions are provided for felting the bag in your washing machine, too.  Please avoid superwash wool yarns as these yarns will not felt properly. "I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want.   Thanks!" --Cindy Kit includes printed & pdf pattern as well as selected yarn.  For yarn winding services, click here.  Bulky WeightDESIGNER RECOMMENDED YARN: Eco+ by Cascade Yarns (100% Wool; 250g/478yds): 1 Skein.   ALTERNATE YARN: Lanaloft Bulky by Brown Sheep Co.
