I've used Paternayan Persian wool, but if you're used to Portuguese rug wool then Persian wool will be too thin and stretchy for you. You'd be better off contacting someone in Portugal and having them mail you wool. Maybe Casa dos Tapetes de Arraiolos would do it (http://www.casatapetesarraiolos.com/).

I learned how to stich the arraiolos rugs. I have started the art up again but have discovered I have run out of wool. Do you know of any places I can get some? I lived in Portuagal for two years.

Thank you for posting it. I've been attempting to start stitching Arraiolos rugs ever since I saw Pat Stone on a cable television show several years ago. I was corresponding w/her via e-mail and was promised one of her few copies of the book she has at home. Unfortunately, her husband passed away and she became very distracted and I never received the book. You were very lucky to find a copy at a book store. Thanks again for your web site regarding this craft. I love your site. Thank you for posting it.
