I've never sewn with wool fabric before - does it respond ok to zig zag stitch on the edges or does it really need overlocking?

But I've made enough squares at this point, that I've begun dashing a hooded, pull-over style, longer sweater dress. That was the one wardrobe thing I craved most, this winter.
So, it's woven - but in tiny squares, and to make a loose, comfy, longer dress, it's taking a LOT of those squares. And hand-stitching them all together is taking a long time. Add in the fact that there's no pre-made pattern - I'm figuring it out, as I go (is anyone seeing a 'pattern' in this behavior, for me?), it's something I'll wear, even if I end up hating the final product.
