This is the sweater after I made it into a tote bag, I washed it one more time!!LOL

Once you wash and sew wall it will  not come apart!! It has to be about 70% to 80% wool!! Great way to recycle old sweaters!! I want to make some mitts next!!

    Thanks!! Can't remember where I got the idea, but it was so easy!! The longest part is washing the dang thing!! Each time I washed it I did it with Jeans and used hot water, then dried it in the dryer on the hot setting with the jeans(poor DH thought he was gaining weight as I shurnk his jeans a little!!LOL)
    (It's best to use jeans as they help the matting process, buy hitting the wool over and over)
    I did this about 5 times, then once more after sewing so the stiches vanish into the wool matting!!
    I bought this sweater at a second hand shop for a couple dollars!! It won a first at the fair!LOL
