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 (36-5×5″ squares) is $21.99.
