There are two sources which come up frequently
The first is Durafelt which some like as a good raw material for wads. I don't know where you get it but someone will wade in and tell you.
I like to go to thriftshops and pick up felt hats. You have to make sure the hat is 100% wool. If it is not marked or if you can't be sure, stay away from it.
Generally a men's hat has felt that is thick enough to make acceptable wads. It is not as good as Durafelt but it works for me. A woman's felt hat is generaly made of felt which is less dense than a man's hat. You will feel the difference.
This source might sound a little hit-or-miss, but every time I have been in a thriftstore, I find a hat which would make the wads I use. I am still on the second hat I ever bought for wads.
