I love finding wool clothes to take apart. Unfortunately in this town (Portland, OR) I am not the only one doing this so have a lot of competition at the thrift stores. Sometimes I find stuff on craigslist but not often. Right now I have quite a stash to overdye so I'm happy for a while. HA - never enough wool or fabric.
You should make a road trip up to Des Moines, Washington. Carriage Country Quilts is heavy into wool! And they are an awesome store.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind for the next time we drive North.

I've only done one wool project so far. Here's the link to the thread I posted. They were done in Dec. '09.
