The grey is some Gotland I had here from Holland. It is quite course and a bit hairy. The prefelts are some hand-dyed thick merino prefelt and the green and yellow fibre is C-1/Pellsull. I did shave the design on the finished bag to reduce some of the hairyness and the grey dulling my design. I think I will make the next bag from Finnwool. My hands need a bit of a break. No blood so far today as I rubbed a fair bit over the screen with bags on my hands. Maybe the next one will be finn with some merino and fabrics on the surface. I have a simple design for the resist ready to go!

I LOVE your green spot bag - the shapes are beautiful and the colours so 'organic'.

Awesome bags! My new wool is supposed to be here today and I can't wait to get a bag started.
What are you waiting for, Lynn???
Dyed Corridale top from Louet. My stash only has smaller amounts of colors that I purchased from you which I prefer to save for needle felting and smaller embellishments. It just arrived ... a dark blue, warm wine, charcoal, violet and black. It seems to work well for both kinds of felting.
Yes, it will!
So wonderful to discover your blog and wonder around here, reading, admiring your work...
Love the green bag you made!
