Suppliers for wool
West Earl Woolen Mill

Ephrata, PA 17522

West Earl Woolen Mill has Peruvian wool batting and wool roving. This is white, not dyed wool. They don’t have a website so you will have to call. Be sure to pay attention to the time zone! I think this is also their home phone. Their prices are the best I’ve ever seen for wool batts.

Resources for felting needles:
http://www.feltcrafts.com/needle-felting-supplies.html - this company was started by a Waldorf parent.
http://www.woolery.com/Pages/felting.html#needlefelting - I always like to get a paper copy of this catalog. It's my favorite catalog to just look at. I am dreaming of getting a spinning wheel someday! Both of these companies offer the best prices I've found for felting needles.
http://www.weirdollsandcrafts.com/needle-felting-roving/felting-needle-supply.html - I had almost forgotten this company. They have good prices on their felting needles! And lots of other fun stuff.
