[Nfb-krafters-korner] wool yarn for felting project

[Neva Fairchild]

So if I understand felting, we have to get a solid color from these choices
because felting requires 100% wool, right?

Hi all,

 

Joyce has that felting chat coming up followed by a class to make a bagg, if
I'm not mistaken.  so I was browsing around for yarn for the project. I
found lots of yarn, most of which I could not determine what the colors
were. So as usual, I turned to Lionbrand and found a good yarn for felting
and wil shop around to get a good price forit.

 

Here are the colors available and their descriptions just in case you want
to purchase some as well.
