It's been a while since the topic of felt balls was mentioned, but I finally wanted to post some pics of balls that I have made. I found a roving source in Iowa that has been excellent to work with. Her name is Abi of High Prairie Fibers. Here's the link to her web site. http://www.prairiefiber.com.

I have ordered twice from her. On my last order I got a sampler of 8 bright colors. She called it her wacko sampler. It was $12 and contains enough roving for countless balls. I also got 1 lb. of the felting batt (used for the inside of the ball) for $8. With shipping, my total was $24.90 and I got a box full of stuff. I think her prices are very good and she's offered helpful tips for me along the way. She also sells felt balls under her "feed the birds" section. The "bonky balls" are $4. I ordered a couple in the beginning to use as a guide for mine.

If anyone is interested in making felt balls, I would highly recommend checking out her site.

BTW - the balls shown are made with felt from my first order. This felt is not nearly as bright as the wacko pack from my second order.
