Hoping some kind folk on here can give me some recipe ideas. Some family friends with a small holding this year got a batch of turkeys to grow on and sell in time for christmas.

Recently got hold of a bunch of sheep fleeces for free and rather than try to make wool, I was hoping to use them to make felt with and then use the felt after for various projects.
