I've never been offered a choice around here - I'm just pleased if I can get the colour I want! BTW What is a sucker cover please?

It is an in the hoop project. I know designsbysick.com has them and embroiderygarden.com has them. It's a fancy cover you put over a candy sucker to dress it up. Really cute for kids or adults.

Is that the same as a lollipop? In my 1950's UK childhoohd a sucker was and ice lolly. (Not really compatable with embroidery!)
140716bluedaisy, I am not sure that I ever check out what sort of felt that I have used - especially for the sucker covers (chances are you will never know if they are thrown away or kept) - but the other items - you might want a good quality - as it might have to be washed and used over and over.

Isn't it sad that someone would throw it out. But you are right...you never know!
211078I get mine by the yard at JoAnns and I think it is acrylic. Last Christmas It stitched out my 200 stockings from Shirlene just perfect!!! Hugs, Judy
92391For sucker covers I use the cheap acrylic squares you can get for 25 cents apiece. If it's something else that you want to spend time on & it last I buy a better grade of acrylic felt by the yd at fabric store. *

122864If it is something that is to be washed - use the wool felt, if not, then I go for the acrylic. I thruthfully have not seen the blended here, but then, neither do I look much for felt. In using the wool felt, make sure that it is washed prior to your work on it - just in case it might shrink.
