I think this part was originally the most difficult for me as I live in an area where you can not get scraps for free from any of the textiles shops, the wool supplies in the charity shops are also extremely scarce. When I'd decided to start again I went out and bought every type of material I could get my hands on.
I discovered that pound land is great and they stock a really good selection of acrylic wools. I then had to go to hobby craft and bought a multipack of 104 different embroidery threads and lots of weights and types of wool. It was an expensive trip but I found the first time I tried this project that not having the right colours was a real disadvantage. It also made it look like I couldn't match colours properly which was the whole point of the colour analysis exercise.
I now just need to make sure I put it all to good use and I must not forget that I should use my fabric scraps from earlier in the course too.
