She has written three very informative articles and is now planning a book. Although Susan's wool is for rug hooking I think the same principles should apply to wool fleece for felt-making. Anyway I have decided to begin my own sampling soon with wool fibres, silk fibres and silk fabrics and aim to build up a portfolio of swatches as Susan has done. I will keep you posted on progress. If you are interested in rug hooking visit Susan's site at Ram in the Thicket http://raminthethicket.ecrater.com/ I have discovered some wonderful articles on dyeing wool by Susan Sylvia.
