What is wool cloth?
#2
Most people use wool felt, either a wool blend or a 100% wool. Some buy regular wool fabric and make it into felt (I think you just put it in a hot washer and dryer). I don't think most people use the inexpensive wool (acrylic) that they sell in squares at walmart or joanns or by the yard.

They use woven wool fabric that has been felted - usually by machine laundering in hot water, rinsing in cold, then dried in a hot dryer. Most craft felt is NOT wool, usually a poly or other product, not really meant to be used for penny rugs, etc.
