Description
Time to look at our autumn wardrobes, and how better to liven things up than with a handmade felt shoulder bag in the new seasons colours? Orange, rusty red and tawny browns are very "in" this year. I love these vibrant cheerful colours, I really enjoyed blending the wools as I knitted...
<br />
<br />This design really uses the unique propeties of my knitting and felting technique, I knit each bag in one piece with no seams which creates this great sculptural design.
<br />
<br />This bag look equally good whether it'slipped over your shoulder and just tucked under your arm or held as a handbag.
<br />
<br />I hand knit my bags with 3 strands of 4ply (fingering) 100% wool yarn.
<br />
<br />This time I used Amber Orange and Holly Berry red which I blended gradually throughout the bag
<br />
<br />I used a pretty floral motif pewter coloured metal button to close this bag.
<br />
<br />After knitting I full or wet felt each bag then carefully shape and dry them to form a strong, thick and incredibly tactile fabric.
<br />
<br />My individual process creates a fabric where the knitted stitches are not visible anymore. It really is felt!
<br />
<br />Size- large enough for daily use.
<br />
<br />Bag height 19cm (7 1/2") from base to opening.
<br />
<br />Width 25cm (9 1/2")
<br />
<br />Strap 53cm (21" ) long
