Anyone have any leads on where to get this cheaper than if I ordered through somewhere like Magic Cabin? I need a good color selection. Any co-ops you know of?
Thanks!

Have you tried inquiring at the FabricConnection?

Are you looking for wool jersey or Flannel? Interlock?

I just need the felt; the fuzzy thick wool that waldorf doll makers use for clothes.

There is a yahoo group that pools their orders to buy wool felt... I am not a member so I dont know if they have any co ops going on right now or not!! HTH

I just bought some 100% wool felt at Joann's fabrics during their 40% off sale, I paid only $4.19/yard.

I joined the group, thanks!

and does Joann's have them in yummy colors like Magic Cabin? I will go see if I can find out on their site.

certainly not as many as MC, but definitely some good ones. I got a beautiful deep red, heatherd green and blue, a harvest gold, grey, and some more.

The other thing is you could get white felts and then dye it yourself. It's a fun kids project with Kool-Aid.

I should note, I work with Wool Roving or Yarn, but haven't tried it on Wool Felt per say. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work though.

Okay, I'm totally clueless when it comes to wool, can you use fiber reactive dyes on it?

Oh, and Claire, I saw one of your balls in real life this week, and I must say, it was gorgeous! My friend Andrea bought a cherry one.
