I'm one of the crazy people in France who don't heat his #home.

Just removes humidity. Can't afford heating, but I have all stuff to stay warm (clothing, etc)
It can go below 10°C

I know the techniques to sleep with -5°C : goose down #blanket, #wool hat, wool gloves, wool socks
And breath strongly at morning when dressing good clothes!

But in Gaza they don't have all this useful things now. It's an emergency to help them

The beautiful anti-wool quote featured in the ad comes from #Prince’s 1999 album #RaveUn2theJoyFantastic, on the cover of which he appears in a #faux-#wool jacket.

the information he included in the album’s liner notes:

If this jacket were real wool, it would have taken 7 lambs whose lives would have begun like this … Within weeks of their birth, their ears would have been hole-punched, their tails chopped off and the males would have been castrated while fully conscious.

An update on using daggy wool as weed matting …

Most of the wool I covered with stones and it looks amazing. This plant just had wool open to the sky. Local birds have discovered it is perfect nesting material and have picked it bare!

Here’s a bit of couch grass that has fought its way through the middle of a tuft. I think I need to felt the wool this to prevent it. A lot of the other weeds and all of the grasses have been suppressed but couch is unusually persistent.

Here is my costume this year - I went as myself - a wench! 😆 Happy #Halloween!

This is the cowl/hood I #HandDyed and crocheted this year. The dusty rose accent is #handspun. It is entirely made of #GulfCoast #wool off the backs of my sheep and is heavy and super warm!
