re: needle felting supplies
have you tried "lettuce knit" in kensington market? a few years ago my husband bought me a "starter needle felting kit" there so maybe they still carry stuff? also, you might try "romni" if you haven't already because when i took a drop-spindle class there they supplied lots of pretty wool roving for us to use.
re: notebooks
what about cafepress.com? i'm pretty sure you can upload your own design and they can make a notebook for you.
I've seen needle felting kits at the workroom, and the roving at the knit cafe.
the workroom definitely does carry a variety of wool roving colours for needle felting, along with the tools made by Clover. We even have a few books on needle felting!
thanks for all the feedback on the wool roving, i wasn't looking hard enough and now have found stuff!
about the felting needles ... you can buy a starter kit that comes with 3 different guages, a sponge block and instructions on how to make your first felted coaster at naked sheep on queen east.
i started there and went through a felting frenzy!
have fun!
I'm looking for wood boxes for crafting. Different sizes and shapes so I can paint them. I only found some at Michaels and small ones at Dollar stores, but Micheal is way overpriced and the dollar store one too small.
Where can I find a manufacturer or a very good store in Toronto and GTA?
Hope to hear from you soon.
