Where can i find Wool ?

[sticksteer]

Where are you guys finding the wool to make "Reds Wool" jigs ? I found the cloth at JoAnns but they did not carry any wool here. I bought some lambs wool at the drugstore used for putting in your shoes but its very fine like craft hair .

I have yet to get the 'real' wool. What i have used so far is called Wool Roving, purchased it at a local craft shop in the doll making section. Not sure what wool roving is used for in dolls...... hair or stuffing?

The following website will help explain the terms and expressions used to identify the type wool you will prefer.

I think all wool will work on jigs. But why pay for a few steps of processing that you don't need. Reading the web page will explain almost all the steps of the process. It was highly educational and I can now appreciate why a fine wool garment costs so much.:icon14:
