If it were clean fiber (colored would be an added Plus!) the shorter length and it in batt form would be especially attractive to needle felters.
Many are realizing that there actually ARE other breeds than Merino, and that Merino is one of the more difficult fibers to needle (its softness would be a natural for small projects but its length makes it difficult to work it into a 2" - 3" project.) Romney and similar micron breeds needle VERY firmly if one puts in enough time so marketing to the Dry-/Needle-Felters is a new and growing market. Too much of the current info being posted is still apropos for WET felting and it is most often the exact opposite in directions and results for dry felters. Unfortunately, that is what the dry/needle felters are hearing - my mission is to change this, one needler at a time! So ask you friend to have her fiber cleaned, possibly dye some of it, drum card it and join the needle felting lists and forums - I can forward a list if she needs outlets!
