A Trip Around the Wool: Materials

Wool2-18

25 assorted pieces of Mary Flanagan Wool Felt. Make sure you have at least 4 pieces of a few of them. Other than that just try to pick a nice contrast, some darks and some lights.
I used (clockwise from top):

  • 3- Spring Green
  • 2- Blue Spark
  • 4-Spring Rain
  • 3-Mexican Clay
  • 4- Straw
  • 4- White
  • 2- Wake Up Call
  • 3- Bright Pumpkin 

You will also need three balls of Valdani embroidery thread. I used Natural.

Hi Casey,
The wool felt Molly used for her blanket is from Mary Flanagan, It comes in precut pieces, appx 12 x 15-inches. She is referring to these. You can find them at this link:
