Texere Troon Aran Wool Felted Bag & Purse Knitting Pattern 004

Texere Troon Aran Wool Felted Bag & Purse Knitting Pattern 004

£1.50

Here is a knitting pattern for a felted bag and purse using Texere Troon Tweed aran. The yarn is used double for the bag meaning you'll have it knitted up in no time and the little purse only uses one ball - so great, quick gifts. The transformation of the non-felted bag when you take it out of the washing machine is brilliant and the rigidity of the bag means it doesn't even need lining! All the shades of Troon are marled or tweedy, so even if you don't want stripes you could achieve a lovely textured effect with very little effort.

British WoolBritish Wool
All these British Wool yarns come from British sheep, from British farms and many are spun and dyed in Yorkshire. Some are Texere's own label, others are manufactured by other British companies and the majority carry the British Woolmark.
Acrylic

Acrylic yarns are versatile, practical and colourful and are a brilliant solution for budget projects. Our range includes super chunkies, chenilles, textured fancies and patterned blends.

Alpaca

Alpaca yarns are luxurious, soft and provide warmth to all garments & accessories. The fibre is naturally lanolin free and therefore hypo-allergenic. Alpacas produce fibre from creams to blacks, but can also be dyed into the brightest shades or spun into gorgeous blends.

Angora

Angora rabbits are wrapped in such a soft fibre that the resulting yarns are simply divine. The yarns are cosy and light and will produce garments and accessories for maximum warmth. Take the fibre and spin into luxurious yarns.

Bamboo

Bamboo is one of the more recent "eco" style fibres that provides a sustainable option and uses fewer resources than more traditional fibres. The yarns are soft and sleek and create excellent knitwear.

Cashmere

Cashmere is the classic fibre for quality, luxurious products. Blended with other fibres it provides a softness and warmth that's unbeatable. Spun your own yarns from the fibre and for a limited period we also have some classic fabric lengths.

Cotton

Cotton is such a versatile fibre that is available in yarns for crafts varying from delicate lace-making to strong macrame. Our range includes blends, textures and a vast range of undyed yarns to infuse with your own colours, plus fibres for spinning and papermaking.

Linen

Linen is the fibrous part of the flax plant and just like bamboo and cotton this vegetable fibre produces excellent yarns. Linen can be spun into rough, hairy yarns or smooth, delicate yarns with the underlying property of inherent strength.

Llama

Lllamas are a South American animal more closely related to a camel than an alpaca which is why the fibre is slightly coarser than that of an alpaca. However, choose the undercoat from the babies' coat and you'll have a wonderfully soft fibre that is naturally lanolin free.

Mohair

Mohair fibre is confusingly produced by the angora goat! It is spun into the hairiest of yarns that continues to be one of our most popular lines. Manufactured in loop form for bags of texture or brushed for a smoother appearance mohair is versatile enough for knitwear, weaving or embroidery. The undyed yarns can be dyed successfully or spin the fibre into your own lustrous threads.

Metallic

Metal yarns, threads and wires provide a vast section for you to choose from. Knitted into soft chainette yarns or twisted into strong embroidery threads there's always an occasion to add a sparkle to a project. Don't forget that where the Lurex is blended with cotton or viscose it can be dyed!

Nylon

Nylon is a very versatile product that can be made into a wide range of yarns and threads from mono-filament fishing wire-style thread to delicate gossamer chainette. The undyed yarns can be dyed using hot-water or acid dyes.

Other

Other fibres include slightly more unusual fibres, or where we only have a couple of examples. These include Elastic, Jute, Polyester and Raffia. Lots of contrasting textures in this section.

Silk

Silk is without doubt the most luxurious fibre. The spun silk is glossy and silky-smooth, the silk noil has texture and a soft, delicate lustre. We have lots of blends and textures for all crafts needing an extra bit of glamour. The fibres can be spun or added to felt and paper and all the undyed yarns and fibres dye brilliantly.

ViscoseViscose
Viscose is a really versatile thread that has a lustre only beaten by silk. Our yarns include gimps, chainettes, ribbons and super-fine embroidery threads. All viscose yarns and threads are smooth, shiny and strong and will dye easily into vibrant, rich shades.

WoolWool
Wool is a classic fibre used in all aspects of textiles, so much so that it's the name often used to describe every yarn associated with textiles! It's no surprise when it can be made into such a wide variety of products from soft, light merino blends, to rough, tough berbers. There are lots of undyed yarns including a wide range of British wools to dye to your own shades. It's the best fibre for all aspects of feltmaking and perfect for spinning.
