after felting
Thanks for all of your comments on the Noni bag! I got to felt it a few nights ago in my friend's felting machine or better known as the washing machine. Her washer is great because you can turn back the knob and extend the wash cycle for as long as you need without having use extra water. It took about 3 cycles or 40 minutes for this to felt down to it's proper size. It turned out nice and thick and the handles are very substantial - I was worried the handles were a bit wimpy but I was wrong. I blocked this bag with cardboard boxes cut to size to keep its nice rectangular shape. I know you want to see a pre/post felting size comparison:

That's amazing!
Holy crap! It looks totally reasonable now! Do you get to use this, or is it a store sample?
Oh! That feels better now. It's perfect!
That looks like a good manageable size now...should be great for stuffing with groceries!
looks fantastic! The "pre" photo was very funny - you would have been "best-dressed" at the 4th of July potato sack races. Glad it came down to size. :-)
Wow! The magic of felting comes through again!
this is amazing!! I have to try some more felting. I just love the results. that arrow on the bottom is too cute :)
That is amazing! I am a huge fan of bags of every variety, but large bags usually get my vote because then I can stick my knitting in them.
I love this! Like the before and after picture, what a difference.
I really like the arrow at the bottom. It looks like it can hold a decent amount of groceries and I bet it's pretty sturdy with how small it got. Very cool! :-)
Great bag - love that arrow :)
Wow! It's fabulous!
Not only does that bag look fabulous, it also looks very sturdy and practical. Nice Job!
Such a cool bag! I love the arrow at the bottom, I didn't notice that the first time around.
