I'll try one more bag with smaller needles and then if that doesn't work, I'll move on to a different wool. Thanks for the tip!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-47026183857838152792011-02-21T12:22:58.423-06:002011-02-21T12:22:58.423-06:00Oh I loooove the bag.

Wash with jeans, use a little detergent and knit with big needles. It might be your yarn. If it is spun tight it will not felt al well, if it has too much lanolin(natural sheep oil) in it that could be another problem. Then too, it might be your washer, some don't agitate enough. Have you thought of throwing it in the dryer? That might help. Oh, another thing, icelandic wool in not as good at felting as a "softer" wool. <br /><br />Felting is such a variable thing! It can be fusterating. But it is fun! <br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!Heidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-72160595009273414482011-02-21T10:20:20.366-06:002011-02-21T10:20:20.366-06:00I'm glad you all like the colors I used in the...I'm glad you all like the colors I used in the bag. So do I! In fact, my original plan was to make a blue bag with plum accents and a plum bag with blue accents. And it is 100% wool. I'm really thinking maybe I'm expecting too much shrinkage. Then again, if I were trying to carefully wash a wool sweater, it would most likely shrink up to doll size!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-65373564418669647382011-02-21T09:42:39.011-06:002011-02-21T09:42:39.011-06:00The bag looks great! i've not tried felting y...The bag looks great! i've not tried felting yet, its on my hit list :) Love the colors you chose, they're great!! I bet the lack of felting is from the yarn, was it 100% wool? If there's any acrylic in it I *think* that it would affect the feltability. Either way its a great bag & now I want to make one too :) Picking up a stitch is easy, just get your crotchet hook & bring it up the ladder. No biggie :) I"m an expert at picking up dropped stitches after dropping many on this last hat I"ve been making :) Happy Knitting!!Andrea the Kitchen Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896165794082554089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-33047023036105888742011-02-21T08:41:07.556-06:002011-02-21T08:41:07.556-06:00I know nothing about knitting (or even sewing) ......I know nothing about knitting (or even sewing) ...so I can't give you any pointers...but i can always give encouragement: I think the bag looks great!
