I'm gonna try it

[MidnightandOreo]

Although I have never heard of felting or fulling before coming here a few weeks ago, it didn't take many before/after pictures to make me want to try it. The cost of wool for an experiment was holding me back.

 

Today, however, I went to the local thrift store and found a 100% wool sweater for $2 that I have been diligently ripping apart. (I felt a little guilty at first, but I felt better that it didn't seem to be a handmade item.) I have no specific pattern in mind yet, but some kind of bag seems best so I don't have to worry too much about how much it will shrink.

 

Back to ripping seams...

good for you. I found some wool at my LTS, and I can't wait to make a felted bag.

if you have a LYS .. you should check into some lamb's pride.. its not terribly costly.. i looked at mine today and the larger skein i want to say was 8 oz for 6.95.. that should be enough for a smallish bag i would think ..
