|
|
I am making a felted bag.
I have knitted the bag and tomorrow will stick it in the washing machine to get the felt.
My question is if I do xolour swatches, can I cut them after I have felted them? Or would I need to stitch them to hold the felted knitting (if that makes sense) |

Any felted material should cut without fraying.
What size bag are you making? I want to make a felted bag using the knitting machine for the basic bag, but I'm not sure how much size it loses when felted??? |
