So, you might be asking, does Elann Highland Wool felt, even though I didn't bother to test-swatch it?

'Deed it does:



I am very happy with this project. The Booga Bag is a fun project, it's quick to knit up, and it has the entertaining element of surprise: what will my bag look like after it's felted?

Oh, and for the fluffy top? I purled that section, with the Fun Fur (color: Tropical) held together with the wool. I think it was a good idea, the fur seems to be heavier on the purled side after felting.

Now I will have to be patient to let it dry so I can insert the cord.

I will say that in my most recent Carodan Farm order (the one where I talked about the Regia Nation), I also ordered some Kureyon (color 88) for another one of these. I want a "real" Kureyon Booga Bag, and I am looking forward to working with the Noro yarn again. It's a fun yarn and has that nice lanolin scent.

I might use this as my Christmas-present pattern this year. I think a lot of the women I know or have as relatives could use one of these.
