This is an update on the needlepunch felt supplier that Anne Peranteau
suggested in November of 2005. 

Northeastern Nonwovens no longer sells small(ish) quantities of
needlepunch felt. They directed me to:

Buffalo Felt Products Corporation
Bob Reyna, Account Representative
14 Ransier Drive
West Seneca, NY 14224
PH: (716) 674-7990 ext. 207
FX: (716)674-3631

Buffalo Felt is selling the same felt - the 4.5 and 9 oz. that Anne
mentioned in her e-mail. You can get samples by contacting Bob Reyna. If
you plan on buying at least a few hundred yards, Bob is very helpful.
There is a significant cost savings over buying from retail sources.
Price is dependant on the quantity being purchased.
