Other Uses For Wool?

[Strumpet]

Just wondering, does anyone have any suggestions for EA wool other than spinning? I was thinking of maybe using it to stuff a pillow and would like to hear from anyone who has tried it. Thanks!

I use my shorter length wool for needle felting or stuffing dolls... mostly the wool that doesn't have a long enough staple length to spin. I also save any clean mats I cut out to use in needle felting "creatures" for my daughter. I'm not sure if you were looking for a non-artsy use for wool or not, but I'm interested to hear other ideas.

You can make felt with rabbit fur. I'm thinking... cozy bunny felt slippers for winter.

I don't think it would work for a pillow...it would mat quickly and loose all loft---sorry, but keep thinking...I was pulling whisps of wool from my rex this morning and thought it would make a nice paintbrush tip....
