Nothing wrong with using what we have, and saving space in the landfills!
I started rug hooking last year and wool is waaaay expensive,so I hit the thrift shops!
Some were appalled that I was going to cut up these good clothes, but I got alot of very pretty 100% wool at very good prices!
I left everything in as large a piece as I could.
you never know what you may need later!
also as a side note: I asked what they did with clothing that couldn't be sold(frayed,holes etc) they said it was all baled and sent overseas for charity!
Well personally I think that is insulting(sending our garbage to another country) and alot of crafters(rug hookers,quilters,crochet) would take these off their hands and save the expense of shipping!
