Just hit the Goodwill store by me for men's wool jackets for the wool for doing applique work and small wall hangings. Was SO much cheaper than buying the wool from store... I even found a red women's jacket for 4.99 that is for Mug Rug I am making right now.
I throw them in the dryer with Dryel for a quick "dry cleaning" and the wool has been wonderful...no problems
Hope it is still there when you go back!! You can certainly find something to do with it! You can always use it for batting on a throw...
