I live in the town of the Pendleton Wool headquarters and outlet. Every once in a while I go to their "truck sale" and can get 3 yards of cream wool that is 66 inches wide for $30.00. Then also I scrounge and find wool apparel that I take apart. Some I leave and use the plaids and some I dye or overdye. I use ProChemical acid dyed and my kitchen is full of steam and plastic wrap as I cover everything before I start. I will post some pics of my wools.
