I love this bag as it is a bit larger than most I’ve designed, and being an off-white bag,
it can be used in summer or winter. I have always wanted to experiment with this color, as I have been told that whites will not felt. However, what I have discovered is that white wool will not felt because it has no dye in it. Off-whites contain dye and therefore,
felt beautifully. Of course, the ribbon can be left off, or attach the ribbon around the bag,
but leave off the bow ties.
I like the bow ties as it secures the bag shut and nothing will fall out!
KNIT ON!
