An experiment that turned out fabulous. I started with Patons Classic Merino Wool that is perfect for felting projects. The second yarn is Lion Fun Fir. I single crocheted a long rectangle, then started crocheting around it. I decreased to make the opening of the purse smaller than the bottom. I washed it to complete the felting and after it dried I sewed the handles on. Then I gave it to my best friend to sport around. This is not a classic felted project as you can't even tell that it's felting unless you look really close and know what to look for. Felting turns a knitted/crocheted project into a densely-woven fabric by fusing wool fibers by washing in the washing machine or boiling.
