This bag is an easy-to-knit project that creates a gorgeous one-of-a-kind felted bag that can be carried to the gym or the market. It has a large, wide opening to allow easy access. The Stonehenge Fiber Mill creates Crazy Yarn from there mill ends. This yarn is perfect for this bag. It felts perfectly and colors change randomly. No 2 skeins are alike.

To all knitters of the L-Bag Not all wool will felt. Some wool is superwash and will not felt, plus, not all breed’s of sheep wool felts. I recommend knitting a square with the yarn you prepose to use. Try to felt it in the washing machine to see how well it felts prior to knitting the bag.
