[Nfb-krafters-korner] [Bulk] back to directions

Yes, the yarn has to be wool to be felted.  I have mixed in some other 
fibers with it, for special effects. The wool shrinks up, the other yarns do 
not and you can get some really interesting effects, intentionally, by doing 
this, but you cannot add a lot of other stuff or the wool won't be able to 
grab onto itself enough to be able to shrink into a felt.  Wool ease is not 
good for felting, btw. You need 100 percent wool for best results.
