Hopefully someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. As some may recall I show my cats, but that is coming to an end now that I no longer breed. I will need a new hobby. I have researched making cat beds from wool roving. The ones I saw were prizes at our silver and golden show a year ago. The cats LOVED them! I need to find a reasonable place to buy the roving from. Is anyone into crafting with wool? Also could I replace the wool roving with cat hair? Have plenty of that !!

I had to google roving. I had never heard of it. It looks like you can buy in bulk on Ebay.

Amazon does sell it but you might be looking for bigger quantities than they have
