I've made a few in the past, but I only have the old surplus wool army blankets to work with. Master Magnus noted that they are more likelly made from "fetal wool".

I dont if I would use the term fetal wool, but yes, there is evidence for some being made from persian lamb.
Thats what my wife made mine from.
I will ask her if she can make another

Look into pillbox fur hats on ebay. These hats were all the rage for women up untill the 60s.

If you want to make your own, you can use James B.'s tip and do an eBay search for "craft cutter persian lamb". I don't know how many hats you could make from a full-length woman's coat, but there's one on there right now (01/19/09, 3:35pm) for $9.99 & shipping.

I have several wool hats in stock at the moment; they will be at Birka with Edric the Potter if you want to see them in person (if you are going). Or you could PM me and I can get you some pictures and we can do this via mail.

Thanks
