You can use cashmere,alpaca,angora if you cannot find wool. These can all be felted/shrunk down. check goodwill in higher ended areas of town for old cashmere sweaters. Or you could use Felt strips. here's 2 using any sweaters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjok-YVYoSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98tAbFKRwzU; here's some using anything/fabric https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIY++sweater+rugs you could make smaller sections then combine them to make large area rugs(like a bunch of white sweaters for large white rug)
