You can tell which pieces of wool may fray because the fibers aren't as tightly woven.
Good luck with your kit...that is a lovely gift from a thoughtful son.
Lucky You!!
Thank you mamaw - The directions (as I read them) actually suggested that you use both. You are correct - some of the wool is tighter woven than some others. Are you hand appliqueing? or are you machine appliqueing? That was the next thing I needed to decide.

The son is thoughtful. I have never worked with wool in this manner so I am looking forward to trying it. Just need to get it complete before Thanksgiving!!
