Wool (always sheep) has tiny little barbs on each strand that help to hold the felt together. Fiber such as cashmere and alpaca are way too soft. I can send you a little of both to try if you'd like. You can dye it with food coloring and <br /><br />My sister is doing what you are also and I have given her many different fibers and wools to try. I think wool is much easier for a beginner but I do know she uses other fibers also. <br /><br />I'm a firm believer in do what you do and not let anyone (even me!) tell you its wrong. Send me via email your address and I can send you some fiber.<br /><br />Enjoy the New Year knowing Spring is right around the corner (please don't tell me its not) :-\<br />Sheryl at WovenDreamsFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210058750152836720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073991735187596539.post-129299056632875982015-01-05T11:21:42.347-08:002015-01-05T11:21:42.347-08:00Did the Thundershirt help Dexter??

Frigid temps are just hitting here today and we are expecting our first substantial snowfall tonight.<br />Meanwhile, I've discovered needle felting and I'm loving it! I'm thinking you get wool from your goats (?) and I wonder if you do this? It's great for me because I can do it in small amounts. I bought a kit from Sarafina Fiber Arts (online) and follow her YouTube tutorials. I'm doing a goat now. I'm hoping to start doing my own designs after I finish the goat.<br />Be well, be warm, be loved...SueSue W.noreply@blogger.com
