Well Sarah HERE SHE GOES!!!
I about to felt my first bag. I have looked at many directions for a front loader and your idea sounds the best, the easiest, and hopefully it will work for me. I will report back.
Wish me luck.

Will not succumb to felted bag lust. (Really. Apt. washing machines. Can you imagine the possibilities for machine disaster?) But oh my, that’s pretty! Actually, seeing the end result makes me want to *wear* it, LOL. But now I have this vision of a real fleece sweatshirt, y’know? Despite the fact that I’d no doubt look like a very large eggplant. (I love dark purples.) Still. Oh, the warmth and cuddliness…

And hey, I Made A Useful Suggestion, cool! [g] You realize, if you dye the guard hair, we will want pix. Not to add to your work or anything– Oh, who am I kidding. We’ll want to see what you came up with.Heck, I’m interested in what you’ll eventually use it for!

The bag looks lovely. Thanks for the combs info. I have a Jacob fleece with which I need to do something as I don’t want to send it off and blur the coloring.

It’s fun to read a blog and see “Melinda” and think — Look there’s another! Oh wait, that’s me.

Your bag is great! I think Hugo feels left out and would like a “dog pack” to carry on walks.

I felt in my front load washer all the time. I did find that stuff felted faster (and doesn’t pick up or leave colors) with about 1/2 a load of regular laundry, warm wash, cold rinse, regular detergent/fabric softener. Yep, breaking many of the “rules”!

The bag is delightful! I love it.

And, yes, I can verify that Zeno’s cat bed came out very, very well. The little demon even likes it, which is saying something. I mean, considering…
