You're purchasing 100% mill-dyed wool that I have already pre-washed & lofted in my Kookaburra Lanolin Wash and is ready for you to use.  The wool is from the finest suppliers overseas in the wool mill industry. These wools are suitable for primitive rug hooking and wool appliqué work.  Depending on the combo/color collection you select, you'll have either 4 to 8 pieces of "complementary textures" measuring approximately (6-1/2" wide x 16" long) in each grouping.   Each 4-piece bundle totals 4/16 yard (or the same as a Fat 1/4 yard); Each 5-piece bundle totals 5/16 yard; Each 6-piece bundle totals 6/16 yard (or the same as 3/8 yard); Each 7-piece bundle totals 7/16 yard and Each 8-piece bundle totals 1/2 yard.  On rare occasions I will offer larger Bundle Pack Collections which will be priced accordingly!

The wool is measured PRIOR to washing, giving you a full fat quarter yard to work with.  The wool is felted and ready for you to use.  Each piece measures approximately 6” to 7" wide x 16” to 18" long and there are 5 pieces in each bundle totaling 5/16 yard.

TEXTURES ADD additional depth & interest to any wool project.  They are often used for “outlining” in Primitive rugs!  I purchase only the finest 100% Textured wools that will complement my own hand-dyed woolens.  The textures will range from nice multi-color threaded plaids, windowpane plaids, hounds tooth checks, herringbone chevron textures, cat-eye patterns, honeycomb patterns, etc.  Many of these same “as-is” textures are used in my over-dyeing process as well.  They are pre-washed and fully felted and ready to use in your rug hooking or wool appliqué projects.  You can use either side of these wools! 

For rug hooking, it is most often recommended that you use a “wider cut” with a texture as many (not all) can have a looser weave and may be a little more challenging to work with.  If using “looser woven” wool for appliqué work, you may want to iron your wool to a thin adhesive such as Premium Soft Fuse or Steam-A-Seam which will cut down on fraying along the edges of your wool.

If you are new to rug hooking and have no other resources available, I’d be happy to cut your wool into strips on your FIRST ORDER, a maximum of (4 bundles or 1 yard equivalent).  However, I would be most appreciative if you would seek out your local resources for cutting (i.e. ~ friend, neighbor, guild or shop) and use me as your last resort so I may have the time to dye more wonderful shades of wool for your future projects!    I can cut your wool into #6 (6/32”), #8 (1/4”), or #9 (3/8”) cut strips.  Please notify me at the time of payment if you’ll need your wool cut & which size you would like & allow an additional day or two for my extra work.  Do Note: once your wool has been pre-cut into wool strips & shipped to you, it is no longer eligible for exchange or refund!  Also, future orders will need to be charged {$2.50 per Fat 1/4 yard bundle or yardage equivalent} to offset my time, as well as maintenance & repair costs for my cutter.
