interesting, perhaps it stabilizes the wool so it doesn’t lose its shape? I wonder if that makes it stiffer, and if what they use to stick them together affects how to clean the project.
I’m thinking ideal for a messenger bag or clutch to test it… then if it holds up, a garment.

I’d do the 18-24 mo tulip sleeve, because it attaches to the shoulder… the difference between the sizes in the sleeve piece is about 1/4 inch, so a little more or little less on the overlap should not be obvious.
