I made a bunch of felt animals, only to find the cruddy felt pulled apart at stress points. :( It's not wool. Where can I find wool felt?

Also, someone was kind enough to offer links to a couple of places to get boucle and mohair, but I still can't seem to find the really wild colored stuff, like fushia and purple, or the really FLUFFY stuff, that's like boucle but hairy. I need help and evidently someone to hold my hand. :p

If you have an acmoore local to you, they have some great boucles & mohairs now, lots of different colors including wild ones!

Don't know of a source for wool felt, but you could maybe make your own with roving?

you can buy the wool blend felt at joann's. it's really sturdy and nice to work with.

oh bummer, we don't have an ACMoore or a Joann's. So, am I pretty much out of luck? I see there is some wool felt in the magic cabin catalog, and I can't remember exactly, but it was like $9 a little square or something. I'd be afraid to use it!

I just need to make my daughter a big and little horse and a big and little dog. I had wanted to make a little tiny square "stable" type carry thing, to put them in to travel, but at this point, I'll be happy with whatever I can find! Perhaps I shouldn't wait so close to Christmas eh? I really thought the other felt would be fine for now, since it will be heavily played with, I was just planning on replacing as needed.

If you tell me what colors you need, I can help you out. :)

Try Kathryn at The Silver Penny (http://www.thesilverpenny.com) she carries really nice wool blend felt packs at a very good price. And she is a super nice mama to boot! :)

Thank you Lorraine! I did want to try one more thing, before I bothered you, this time of year. :) I finally made it to Hancock's (I live inthe middle of no-where, it's a long way away, lol) and I found some brown! one color, but who cares. lol This will be wonderful.

Beth, I love the link you sent and I've got to get a sample pack! That would be so much fun to work with. I had ordered the animals a to z book for my daughter for Christmas. This pack would be great to go along with it.

Still no yarn, but I'm getting there! lol I still think maybe when I'm trying to use a search engine for the yarn, I'm maybe not using the correct terms or something.

Thanks again for the help, info and offer to send me some. :heart:
