I work on wool blanketing, cashmere velour or doctor's flannel. All fabrics that are ready to go. I am not sure how easy they are to get hold off in other parts of the world but in Australia many embroidery stores with an online presence carry it in various pre-cut pieces.<br />I did however make my first fabric myself from a knitted piece that I felted so that is certainly an option. <br />This is the only kind of embroidery where I don't use a hoop (only with doctor's flannel). There is enough hold in the woollen fabric to hold the stitches as long as you take care not to pull them too tight - the yarn should just 'hug' the fabric. Good luck with it - I am sure you will love it. Happy stitching Anna<br />Anna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-91976116853912674542014-04-12T11:13:37.455+09:302014-04-12T11:13:37.455+09:30I am so happy to see someone embroidery on wool fa...I am so happy to see someone embroidery on wool fabric. I have wanted to do this for a long time; however, I didn't know how to start. Did you felt the wool first? I see you are not using a hoop - any particular reason? I need all the tips I can get as I am trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-43092423891689105312013-04-20T22:44:49.080+09:302013-04-20T22:44:49.080+09:30I am so excited that you want to give wool embroid...I am so excited that you want to give wool embroidery a go.
