    Where to buy fleece?

    Or more specifically, fleece with sheep/lambs on it? I've tried Spotlight and Lincraft, and I've Googled but I'm coming up with nothing! I'm happy to buy online so it doesn't need to be a physical store.

    I'm looking for it to make a baby blanket/rug like this and this for a friend's baby due in March, and they have a sheep/lamb theme. So basically one side will have the sheep/lambs and the other side a matching colour.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I did find a good American site that ship to Australia, and they had every animal except sheep!

    How cute! I don't think black would be too odd. Maybe a dark red/brown/russet type colour would fit? Or just go for a big contrast like yellow?

    I would go either a strong contrast or a red-toned brown.

    Well the sheep-fleece lady finally got back to me about calculating postage for it, and she doesn't ship to Australia The only ones who do are for wholesale and I don't know what I'd do with a few hundred kgs of fleece!

    So I ended up getting a bright coloured spotty one from spotlight, with an aqua colour for the back. Looks pretty good I reckon So now I reckon I'll get a stuffed lamb to go with it - but places like Target/Kmart/Big W don't sell *just* stuffed toys. They all have to do something, they're all learning toys, never just a teddy. So frustrating!

    But I am getting some fantastic crocheted/knitted lamb gear (beanie, singlet, booties) from one of the very talented BB girls

    Ah I hadn't thought of the chemist, thanks Nae! If they don't have one there's a town nearby here that has handmade toys, including sheep apparently So I reckon I might make a trip there
