Has anyone got any ideas where to buy 100% wool felt in un-beary colours...such as lemon and pink etc. I've tried to the usual places but  I'm drawing a blank.

Ideally I'd like to get it in the UK but Googling has revealed nothing of any help.

I'd be grateful for any pointers!!!!

Jenny,
If you don't have any luck finding the colors you need, wool felt will take dye beautifully.  Just a thought.

Do you have a quilting store nearby?  They will have many colors of wool felt.

Ah!  Cathie beat me to it...Magic Cabin has beautiful wool felt in many many colors.

Thanks Cathie, Judi, Donna and Sue Ann....I think the UK is lacking a wool felt supplier...but I'll keep looking...in the meantime the Magic Cabin looks to have just what the doctor ordered!!

Hi Jenny, I've just been looking on google too for you and I was thinking that hat makers often use wool felt - I have yet to find a site selling a good range of felt, but it might give you a new avenue to try.  When you buy wool felt do you buy the small squares or larger pieces?  I'm just needing to order some and am trying to think which is best..

good luck with the hunt!
