Wool has always been expensive. I remember my mom paying $15/yard back in the 1970's. My mom was not happy! I entered a patchwork granny skirt in the Make It With Wool contest. I wish that I had kept that skirt! Ah, the things we pitch! No ribbons for me, btw. I was very rushed to get it done.

Look for "In The Patch Designs" felted wool charms and curlers, etc. They are beautiful and affordable. Found in independent quilt shops.

I too can remember it being $15-$18 a yard. But it was quite wide....I am thinking 54"

I've made mittens and most are made from wool sweaters that have been felted. Wool sweaters are what I use. They are so warm!
