If you wish to use a substitute yarn -
Other Felting wools such as Rico creative or Twilleys Freedom wool.

If using a substitute yarn your project may felt to a different size, you may also have problems with the knitting felting shut. This can be avoided by putting plastic bags inside the project during felting.
