Where to find wool felt in Seattle?

I'm making Christmas ornaments. Wool felt has a nicer hand, is easier to work with, and isn't so plasticky.

Any idea where to buy sheets or yardage around? Jo-Ann's will only have synthetic felt.

    I loves me the real wool too. I don't know where you live but, I did some digging for ya and found out that:

    Stitches has some 12x12 sheets

    Esther's Fabrics has it by sheet or yard, some of it hand-dyed

    Pacific Fabrics carries sheets in two sizes

    and finally, I've bought a bunch of handmade, hand-dyed felt from local artist Nikki Wheeler... here's a picture of a few of the pieces I got from her. Delicious!

    Nancy's on Queen Anne sells all wool felt square's for less than $2 and felt by the yard. So much nicer than recycled bottle felt!

    You can make your own wool felt by going to Goodwill and buying old 100% wool sweaters and washing them in hot water and a little detergent with some old towels to beat them up. Wash them two oe three times to make sure the fabric is really felted well.

    In addition to the 12X12 squares of felt, we also carry wool batting that you can make felt from. It comes in a natural color, so you most likely will want to dye it. We also have wool/rayon felt squares and some 100% wool yardage.
