My favorite way to come up with wool remnants is through thrift shops or giant tag sales. Old wool clothing can be taken apart and washed. You can easily have $200 worth of wool in a rug, particularly if using new wool.

We've been putting on the show at the library almost since we started hooking, and it seems to be appreciated. The creations are warm and whimsical. Some are traditionally images of homes or pets. Some are very contemporary patterns. Some are Japanese patterns.
