Linda Koch is an artist and Fiber is one of her loves.
I met Linda Kock on eBay and we have been trading ideas and sharing what we have done. Linda does a lot of different art and you can find her at:

This bag made from Lopi which wears well. Linda made a new closure that she created out of an Amonzonite Donut and 2 beads out of the same stone which created a flat shank type button. She then knitted a small frog closure
To the right is a bowl made also from Lopi. Linda shares that the Lopi takes a little longer to felt but it creates a heavy felted fabric.
soy and wool blend.
Linda likes to use Lopi because it wears well and like she likes the fuzz it has. This bag to the left is knitted with SWS Patons yarn which is soy and wool blend and it felted the fasted from the bags shown. One of the things Linda shared about this bag is she loves the texture it creates! Now you all know I love Soy Fiber regardless.
Linda made the Market Bag on the right with Lopi like some of the other bags shown. This one is my personal favorite. I love the texture look and the shape is great.
Be sure and visit Linda's sites to see what she is doing.
