"Start with a basic wool yarn and add any number and type of novelty or accent yarns to create your own fabulous felted bag," says Bylsma. "The fuchsia color is optional!" Whether your taste runs to faux fur or interrupted railroad ribbons, metallics or even sequins-- or just a plain tweed-- this bag shape shows off every fine yarn, plain or zesty. The 'medallion' is an ideal place for needle felting or some kind of special embellishment or button; and the bag's shape is sufficiently classic that anything you build into it will look good. Double the Cascade 220 if you're using it.
