LOL Gail! :lol: The wool is remnants from Pendelton wool clothing and throws, sold throught their outlet stores primarily for rug braiding, rug hooking, and quilting. I used to make A-line skirts (lined) out of it when I was in high school a hundred years ago. My mother braided rugs. It's less itchy than blanket wool. My cats already love it to death (guess it reminds them of their moms, too! :) ). I'm hoping the results are something like a 'not-so-crazy' quilt, but it has 528 patches so it will take a LONG time to embroider around all of them!! :shock:
