In my first week I learned there is a special felt shop in Köln, where I've now bought most of my pink felt. So many people told me about it, that I realise it has quite a reputation among felt enthusiasts. By searching the Internet I've also found a company based in Switzerland which produces more shades of pink than any other manufacturer. Unfortunately they've never answered my email request to place an order.
My favourite felt so far is found in the felt rugs. One I particularly like is made by the felt company in Meerbusch, which is so close to Düsseldorf you can get to it by the Düsseldorf U-bahn. I've spent ages in an upmarket rug shop at Stilwerk where the most patient woman has showed me samples of different kinds of felt rugs, from tufted to woven. They are gorgeous but too expensive to propose for carpeting the lawn at the Jacobigarten in Malkasten.
