But then that made me wonder if that material was really any different than the felt used to make pennants. I have to admit that I don't know.
Yeah it’s generally the same stuff, although cloth pennants usually have (not always) felt spine and tassels. I think the spine and tassels might feel a little stiffer because they are smaller and haven’t been rolled, wrinkled, etc. I think you got a good find!
