I have not tried that but it looks like it would be fun. I mostly have used the felted wool where it is a bit thicker. I do like the wool from Primitive Gatherings (I purchased a kit) because it fused easily. I use Heat 'n Bond Lite to fuse with. It helps keep down fraying and keeps the pieces in place. Some people prefer to use dabs of glue to hold them in place.<BR/>I wonder what result you would get if you redid the oranges adding some brown. Might tone them down but they really look good to me the way they are.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129049276793098387.post-83533061012657868742008-12-01T23:02:00.000-05:002008-12-01T23:02:00.000-05:00I love the orange! :)I love the orange! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438742462644374831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129049276793098387.post-46261365187933524032008-12-01T19:51:00.000-05:002008-12-01T19:51:00.000-05:00I too love wool, an obsession that began with a cl...I too love wool, an obsession that began with a class by Lorinda Lei several years ago in Paducah. She warned us then that "worsted wool" which is often used in mens suits and jackets, will not felt. Something in the process it has undergone I guess. Perhaps that explains some of your salvaged wool behaving one way and some another. Whatever the results, the colors are fantastic.

Would love to hear what tips others have to help with the felting.
