Wool or synthetic?  Not that I'm sending it, not getting near our post office, but people do have both. And yes to pastels. I've got butter yellow, aqua, baby pink and a few others. They were from the quilt shop years ago.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

100% wool felt is hard to get and expensive... a decent felt is 70% wool 30% acrylic...don’t use anything less than that..it’s crap.

Mine's almost certainly the crap sort. And I only have pieces, around 30cm square or less.

@Iminei I don't have as much as I thought. I have plenty that's gingerbread coloured. I have a few bits of dark green & red. Pastels I have  mauve 21x30 cm, this is stiff synthetic, bluey- mauve odd shape 26 X18, bubblegum pink 21 x21 with a corner cut out, different bright pink 15x14 different mauve 29x15 but with large bit cut out. You're welcome to any/all of these if they're any good.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thanks for sorting those out Darling but I called the lady who runs  my local Emporia and got a metres worth off the roll of Pink, Grey and cream/soft yellow ... All I need now is for the printer to rejoin the land of the working and I'll be off.
