As Is Wool in Rug Hooking

I spend many hours playing with dyes and turning wool beautiful colors.  Currently, I am working on a sample for a beginning rug hooking class at Woolkeepers Hook-In in Camby, Indiana this fall.  As I work on this mat, I'm reminded that some of the best effects often come from "as is" wool.  It is a matter of choosing your color palette and looking for a piece that has all of those colors.  Although I purchased wool I thought I would use in this project, only one of the two pieces "worked".  I went to my stash and found a replacement for the non-working wool that is perfect.  I just hope I have enough of it for all of the kits I need!
