Description: Here is your chance to learn (or practice) Tunisian crochet on a beautiful felted bag. This is an easy project and you can have a bag crocheted and felted in just two days! This class will be like two classes in one -- first, you'll learn and practice Tunisian crochet, then you'll get a step-by-step process in felting by hand. You may be intimidated about felting in a washing machine, like me. So, I've been felting in my kitchen sink! Be careful, though! You probably won't want to stop at just one! As you can see, I made three!
Supplies Needed:
Three skeins Patons Classic Merino wool. (Three different colors gives you a nice array. I started off with four skeins in four different colors. I was able to get all three of these bags out of those four skeins. You can also pick other feltable wools for your project. I just prefer Patons Classic Merino because of the large color choices and I like the way it felts up.)
K afghan hook and K regular crochet hook. A K hook is my preferred afghan hook size for most projects. However, since some of you may not have a K afghan hook, and you may have a different size, I stitched one of these bags with an N afghan hook. I'll bet you can't tell the difference! So, I'm going to say that any afghan hook in the range of K through N is suitable. A cro-hook can also be used on this project simply by attaching a rubber band to one end.
Yarn needle. This project has minimal seaming
Felting. Hot water is needed. Liquid dish detergent. A kitchen sink or pail or bucket, bath tub. Anything at all where you can put hot water. (Not boiling! Just hot out of the tap.) Rubber gloves are optional. And, I used a wooden spoon for agitating.
SPECIAL NOTE: Please use care when picking the wool for your project. Do not choose superwash wool as this wool is specially treated so that it will not felt.
