They ship internationally too. I use blankets, shrunk jumpers and other materials too, but winterwood felt is my favourite by a country mile.

Usually it is hanging with the curtains or other household goods. Also you can buy cheap 100% wool sweaters there and throw them in the washer with soap. The results vary, but sometimes the sweaters are so cheap it's worth taking the risk. I have found great bargains of wool felt at thrift shops.

I'm also looking to possible have it laser cut. while we’re on the subject, where can you find nice thick industrial wool felt? I’m also looking to possible have it laser cut.

I bought some 100% wool felt locally & can't use it for some of my crafts because I don't like the weave that's in it (does that mean it's not felted enough???), and felted sweaters are too thick for a lot of tiny things, too - so I'm going to start using more of the blends. http://www.joggles.com has lots of wool felt & excellent service – the most amazing speedy delivery EVER.

It is consistent in quality and dye color. You can buy a ring of swatches in solid, herringbone and houndstooth- so you can match your project...plus they have over-dyed flosses and pearl cottons. They added a bunch of "springy" colors recently. Plus they are super nice. I love Weeks Dye Works. It is consistent in quality and dye color.

They have to be pure wool and not threadbare else they fray at the edges. But cut them up, wash on high temperature and dye with dylon or I've been plant dyeing. The colours are gorgeous AND you have plenty on hand to use and give away. However, the blanket is a bit thicker than felt but that doesn't bother me. I have some pics on my blog of colours and quality if you want to see. I prefer to use 100% wool felt but was finding it quite expensive so I started dyeing old blankets.

In Australia, Berrima Patchwork in Berrima NSW is usually a constant stockist of wool felt.
