Description

Create your own knitted and felted British Romney wool bag with this illustrated pattern, specially developed for Romney Marsh Wools by Sarah Hartles.

The bag is initially knitted using Pure British Romney Lambswool DK yarn and 6mm knitting needles. It is then felted by following the instructions within the pattern, transforming the knitted fabric into a denser and more structured wool finish.

Requiring just one 100g ball of yarn, this is an enjoyable smaller project and a lovely introduction to combining knitting with felting. Choose your favourite natural shade from our Romney Lambswool DK range to create a distinctive handmade bag for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.

Helpful images of the different stages are included to guide you through the knitting and felting process.

Please note: this listing is for the knitting pattern only. Yarn, knitting needles and the completed felted bag are not included.

Can I use yarn other than Pure British Romney Lambswool DK for this pattern?

While the pattern is designed specifically for Pure British Romney Lambswool DK yarn to achieve the best results in terms of texture and felting, you may use other DK weight yarns. However, this may affect the final appearance and durability of the bag.

Are there any specific washing instructions for the completed felted bag?

To maintain the integrity of the felted bag, it is recommended to hand wash it gently in cool water with a mild detergent and reshape while damp. Avoid machine washing and drying, as this can adversely affect the felt.
