I would have bought it if I thought it was something I would use at some point in time. I also know people that get things like that to cut in very narrow strips to make a type of punch rug which are very pretty.
Thanks for explaining felting. So do you mean I can wash wool to the place it will not unravel? Wow, I didn't know that. Now lets just hope the blankets still there :)
it will not ravel AND that's what makes it so good to applique with - no turning under - just raw edge. Yeehawwww!
