I think they have had the wool for absolute ages - who knows, maybe ever since 1956 when they first opened!! ;)<br />The fabric was on clearance, so apparently they're not getting more in ever. The only wool that's left is some bright, bright orange. :( I wish they had more!!<br />I can definitely relate about finding good wool fabric! If you are interested in lightweight wool, JoAnn has several scrumptious plaids that are only $10 (or $5 when on sale). I have one that is a light green, and my mom just made a 1950s dress out of one that's caramel colored with blue and slate gray mixed in. They are good quality, and made in Japan I believe.<br />I'll let you know if I come across any more good wool!! :)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235395280071814298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266734708350378757.post-91338767191396518962015-01-26T21:34:51.649-05:002015-01-26T21:34:51.649-05:00Thanks, Miss Michelle!! :)

It looks so snuggly warm.
{Not to mentio...LOVE IT! <br />It looks so snuggly warm.<br />{Not to mention ever so chic.} ^_^ <br />I am the same way with cute cotton frocks. I usually try to get away with just adding tights & a wooly sweater. But, that doesn't always cut it.<br />I need to make more wintery things. I am nearly finished with a suspender skirt made of corduroy. <br />Once again you've inspired me to bust out my woolen fabric. :DMichelle {Miss Strawberry Shortgirl}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01513836550696454322noreply@blogger.com
