I love this crochet, felted bag and use mine everyday. It’s big enough to fit everything you need, the handles are long enough to carry over your shoulder and it fastens with a magnetic clasp or press stud. Once crocheted, this bag is felted in the washing machine. The wool felts and shrinks, creating a beautifully dense fabric so your bag won’t need lining!
