hey gang - this is veering off topic, but I want your input.

We've all seen projects that involving felting an old wool sweater. And
there are a few I've fallen in love with and want to try.

Why not find a local sheep farmer and buy raw wool for felting? Often time the
'tag' wool is tossed due to manure content. But I have run some of it through
the washer and found it fine for use in felting or stuffing quilts.


I would - but the project I've been interested in starts with a sweater
for felting.


I can get my hands on raw wool - the neighbor up the street has
connections with the local ag school
