My mother in law does a lot of crafty type things, and since moving up here to the middle of nowhere, she’s having a hard time buying the kinds of felt she needs. I’d like to try to find an online source for it, but I’m the least crafty person alive. I wouldn’t know good felt if it bit me in the butt.

She mentioned something about the felt here being weird sizes, and that it’s not very thick. Or solid. Or something like that - apparently they only sell flimsy felt in the UP. Also, she can’t find red or green felt with sparkles in it.

So, crafty dopers, can you recommend a felt web site? I know there’s some out there but I can’t tell if it’s good felt or crappy felt. Help!

Gee, I never have any trouble getting felt. In fact, I can get felt for free. 😛

OK, I’ll stop channeling my inner smart-ass adolescent.

JoAnn’s seems to have LOTS of felt options, including [red glitter felt.](http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2909&PRODID=prd35308&source=search)

They have wool felt by the yard, as well as craft felt by the sheet.

Athena:

Here are two sources I found recommended from another bulletin board I visit. The first, Magic Cabin, is a BHG source for some of their projects in their magazine.
