About Our Hand Dyed Wools


Mary Flanagan Woolens Booth at International Quilt Market and Festival, Houston 2006
Please come to see us!
Our schedule is listed on the Calendar of Events page.



We start with the best wool

We offer high quality wool fabrics that have been milled especially for Mary Flanagan Woolens. We feature textures that are the perfect weight and weave for rug hooking, penny rugs, wool appliqué, quilting and sewing projects.

Our Dye Process

We use dyes which are noted for superior color-fastness and wash-fastness. Our dye formulas are our own creations derived from combinations of reds, yellows, blues and black. 
 
The final appearance of our unique colors depends on the fabric it is applied to. It is only by repeating the same combinations of wools in each dye bath that consistency of color is achieved. We specialize in dyeing textured wools and we seldom dye over solid white.

We are consistent in color to the best of our ability, we weigh the wool to the gram and we measure the dye to the milliliter. Dye lots may vary slightly with each dye bath due to those uncontrollable forces of nature and a little thing called chemistry that rules even our artistic world.


We were thrilled and honored in Houston to receive the International Quilt Market Award for Best Merchandising, 2007.
