A collection of wool arrived today so I can use it for weaving.

I loaded some new roving from the mill in my shop, if you're into that sort of thing. 😉 #FiberArts #HandSpinning #Wool #GulfCoast

Two Roving Braids Bag (Milled)

Two ~ 2 oz. braids of natural 100% Gulf Coast wool roving made at a local Kansas mill. At least 5 layers of continuous roving folded together make up each braid – basically pre-drafted. Ready…

Follow up stupid question: should I not be throwing my wool hiking socks in the dryer, then? 😱 (I line dry them when I can, but they end up in the dryer a lot with other people's stuff). #wool

Meet your maker: Sheep to Sock Textile Festival highlights demand for wool

This picture shows a batch of wool that I tried something I'd seen on YouTube which involved putting the wool in a shallow basin and spraying it with a power hose. I did this, then put the wool in bags in the washing machine and ran it on the hand wash setting, cold water, without interfering in the cycle. What came out was fairly clean but somewhat matted like the first and I think it will be hard to work with. #kildareyarns #wool #spinningwool #fiberarts #cleaningwool #SpinningYarn #knitting #crochet #weaving
