Wool!
Mmmmm look at the yummy fall colors.
Brandy's been knitting a gorgeous little purse with Homespun and I thought I'd try my hand at making one, too. But I wanted to make mine with wool and then felt it. It will be smaller, but I think it will be SO cute for a small bag. I can't wait to get started. It was ALL I could do last night when I got home NOT to start. I wanted to take pretty pictures of the beautiful fibre goodness before mussing them with knitting.
OOOoh! And I got some bamboo circs, too! I'm really excited about working with those.
So for the details :)
The red (which is a little more of a burnt red than the photo shows) is by Classic Elite and it's called Montera Llama Wool. It's so so soft. The variegated is also by Classic Elite called Paintbox and it's merino wool. Another soft soft fibre.
I've never felted anything before.. if anyone has any tips, I'm all ears!

Wow, thank you, Sue!! I started it a little while ago I'm LOVING working with the bamboo needles! I'll try to post pics over the weekend. :D
Very pretty colors!
Thank you, Andi!
love the colors
Thanks, Lulu!
I've gotten about 5 1/2" knitted and I just love the variegated. The label's right - it DOES resemble a painter's palette.
Thanks, Tabby!! I absolutely feel in love with them in the store!
