Do you like to try different breeds of wool for felting? Do you have a favourite or ones you think are better suited to particular projects? How about embellishment fibres, do you have any favourites?

Natural Wools and Embellishment Fibre Panels

I think I might have to change my plans a little bit, and make some different sized templates for my panels. Quite a few of the wools I've got have a very long staple length, much bigger than my current template. And the varying shrinkage rates make the panels similar but not quite the same, so I think a variety of squares and rectangles might work out better to piece together in the end. This is Black Jacob wool tops and Soy bean staple fibre.

The colours of Brown Finnish wool tops and flax work together nicely:
