Other than Magic Cabin, where can you get wool felt?

I'd love to be able to get it from a place with low shipping and fair prices.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Michelle

http://www.twiningthread.com/ has reasonable prices

I, too, like the wool blend felt JoAnns carries. I like to get their white and dye it myself. For some reason the white felt at my local store is 35% wool/65% rayon while the colors are 20% wool/80% rayon. Rayon is considered a natural fiber as it's derived from wood pulp (although it's processed in a not so natural way)

that's odd, our JAs only has 100% wool felt. i haven't seen any of the blends - maybe i didn't look hard enough LOL

Just to share an idea of my shopping choices...imagine you live in a cabin in remote Alaska and you want to go buy some nice fabric.......

*lol* Exaggeration, but I live near zero shopping other than Wal Mart and K-Mart.

I swear I'm green with envy each time I hear about all the cool stuff at JoAnn's!!!!!

You can also check Ebay. I see some on there from time to time at responable prices.
