Hi Pamela,
I am in the UK where we do not have many (if any) places to buy wool, so I always shop in the US.... Try the Dorr Wool Store... they are amazing... when I order now (I have to email them because I pay with a UK card), they ship my order even before sending the final bill for payment... Amazing Service!
I too would not be happy with that response, I would contact them again to let them know that as you would like a refund. Does the site mentions that sizes are approximate? Do they state that the could be 1.5" shorter than advertised?
Anyway, I hope I have helped a little.
Hugs

They do use the word approximately, however none of the pieces are over the stated size and only one of them is actually the stated size, the rest are smaller, some by a full inch and a half. Several of them have salveges that are included in the measurement as well.

[TD]we have created a brand new bundle of wool with an entire array of mostly brand new colors [ 5 of the colors that we just couldn't live without are still included].
We have fallen heads over heals for our newest product collaboration... this time with Weeks Dye Works. Together we have come up with the most scrumptious bundle of amazing hand over-dyed wools in a color rainbow that is just to die for!
THIS IS THE FULL WOOL BUNDLE [this is not the BOM program]
Bundle includes 21 cuts [app. 9" x 17"] of wonderful Fig Tree rainbow of wools starting with a fabulous warm brown and working our way up to the creamiest of creams!

That was a very strange response. Since we haven't seen the original advertisement it is hard to say if the email makes sense or just a lot of double talk. When you buy a "layer cake" you expect all the pieces to be the same size - but if you buy a "grab bag" you don't know what the sizes will be. Their e-mail almost sounds like they buy remnants from the Mfg and just sell them without any other processing on their part. Their comment that wool processing changes the size of the product is weird - I have bought a lot of wool in my day and I bought it by the yard - it was always the same 36 inches as when I bought any other fabric. If you buy wool before it is processed then there could be a variation.
So it would be interesting to see what the ad said.
