Lucy Bag

FINISHED MY FIRST LUCY BAG !!!

This pattern is designed by TWO OLD BAGS

3 skeins of LAMB'S PRIDE WORSTED (85 % wool / 15 % mohair) Color # M181 Prairie Fire

and

1 skein South West Trading Company MELODY (65 % rayon / 35 % nylon) Color # 516 Serendipity

For the bag bottom and handle, I used single strand of Lamb's Pride by itself.

For the rest of the bag, I used single strand of the Lamb's Pride and single strand of the Melody held together.

The pattern is VERY contagious and the bag turns out terrific! I especially like the handle design.

I highly recommend the MELODY - one skein is a big 400 yds. so you get alot

of mileage from it.

TIP: With this yarn SHAVE THE BAG after felting, the novelty yarn shows up better and it isn't as fuzzy.

Noro Daria Scarf

I love NORO and have been felting with Noro Kureyon (one of my favorite yarns to felt). At
Birds of a Feather, (this picturesque barn in Avon, Ohio), I discovered NORO DARIA MULTI. An innovative cord-like yarn in a blend of cotton and rayon with the most gorgeous individually dyed colors you'll ever see. Daria Multi colored is just beautiful and has a unique feel. Try my scarf pattern or make it narrower for a cool belt. I used Color # 11 Ocean/Fuschia/Purple.
