I have done alot of "Salvation Army" shopping for wool that I felt. The sweaters make great hats, mittens, purses. I use more of the clothing wool that I felt and then do lots of wool applique. Buying wool in regular/specialty stores is very expensive. Last summer I stumbled on an add for a rug hooker garage sale-got lots of great small pieces in huge amounts of color variety. Most of them came in groups of 5-6 pieces of wool in subtle shades of the same color-they were orginally priced at about $8.00 each set. I paid 50cents for each set and the sets had been boughten years ago and now you would definitely pay alot more for them than $8. I also got some big pieces of wool for 50 cents each. Wool that would run about $25-$30 a yard. What I am saying is look around and keep an open mind and you just might find wool at prices anyone can afford. Enjoy using wool-I love it.
