FROM SCRATCHY SCARF TO USEFUL BAG.

This small bag is a present for one Granddaughter who will be three in the new year.

One of my early weaves on my large 120cms loom, from home spun Leicester longwool from Fudge

I had selected different colours from Fudge to make a blanket for one grandson

I had decided to select the very light grey to weave a scarf but found it rather scratchy. I was advised that once fulled it may soften but I decided to split in half to make a couple of bags. It was much softer once fulled. 

The few black Leicester long wool I have processed appear to be softer with the darker colours than the lighter colours.

 The bag above, I made for my other Granddaughter who was 3 in December it was made from the same yarn used in her brothers blanket based on planets, link above.
