Key Takeaways:

  • Wool appliqué is very portable, so you can work on it almost anywhere.
  • Felting wool requires moisture, agitation, and heat.
  • Hand-dyed wools are soft and wonderful to stitch, plus they offer many different texture and color options.

“When choosing wool off the bolt, look for fabric that is at least 80% wool, or it won’t felt. My recommendation is to choose 100% wool whenever possible. Suit-weight wools tend to be too light, and coat-weight wools are too heavy.”
