Inspired Felted Tote

Hi Lani,

 

Did you double the thread, or was it thick enough as is? I just bought some beautiful blue/aqua crewel embroidery yarn on eBay, and I was thinking it might be about the same as your using needlepoint yarn - but mine's pretty thin.

Mary Anne, this tapestry wool is a 3ply, about I'd say a sportweight or DK yarn. I used it single, using an H hook and primarily using hdc throughout the bag so the fabric was loose and would felt nicely. Crewel yarn is thinner as I recall, about fingering weight perhaps; I'd definitely use that doubled.
