If I had to list my Top Ten craft materials wool felt would definitely be in the Top 5. (Hmmm, maybe I will think on this and actually make a top ten list...)
There is just so much to love about real 100% wool felt (or the 80/20 stuff if you just can't find or afford the 100% stuff).
The rich colors - no neon-not-found-nature-colors here!Ease of use - no fraying edges to be concerned with, just cut and sew.Tactile qualities - It just feels so real and warm.Versatility - I've made dolls, quilts, ornaments, coin purses, embellishments and more with it. Definitely wins the "favorite surface to embroider on" award.Sustainability - The "green factor" can't be denied. It comes from a natural, renewable source. If you can find natural, plant-dyed felt you are really full of win. (And if you find a wholesale supplier of such please let me know. I've been looking and can't find one!) 
Last week my shipment of wool felt packs arrived. The fat quarter bundle (7-22"x18" cuts) is $41.99 and the Charm Pack (36-5x5" squares) is $21.99.
OH MY GOODNESS!! I have been looking for these bundles. I didn't want to buy by the yard for little projects and I wanted every color. You are the best! I will be in this week to get some!
