I check AT every morning. That is the first thing to do when I get work. Have tea and check AT.
It is always fun to see contests photos. I love them!
I love the way it unzips flat for storage and cleaning. But I don't do wool, so I'll pass. Great design though. Really great.

Hi Group, I'm the designer and actually the bag is industrial wool felt made from factory excess. The specific content 85% wool and 15% mixed fibers.
