You won't ever be washing them in a washing machine, you hand wash them with wool wash that has lanolin in it which helps you time wise since you don't have to relanolize the soaker.Awesome Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523320907836876707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635299.post-41424177297713056392007-01-26T20:31:00.000-06:002007-01-26T20:31:00.000-06:00"ewe" are a fantasitc daughter!"ewe" are a fantasitc daughter!Nancy Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291751479483600003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635299.post-12120592460365321362007-01-26T17:24:00.000-06:002007-01-26T17:24:00.000-06:00(hiding head in disgrace)I actually just bought my...(hiding head in disgrace)I actually just bought my first wool yarn today -- I worked with some years ago that wasn't well-carded and still had bits of grass and stuff it it! oops! -- and I still didn't go pure wool (I picked up some Lion Brand Wool-Ease -- I'm thinking either Knucks or Wrist-warmers or soakers -- can you make soakers out of wool blends??)<br /><br />So much of my knitting goes Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635299.post-49136349806979233002007-01-26T16:54:00.000-06:002007-01-26T16:54:00.000-06:00*itches thinking about it*

When I am making something for the kids I use cotton yarn. I only use wool for adults.Awesome Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523320907836876707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17635299.post-78680299006602537922007-01-26T14:18:00.000-06:002007-01-26T14:18:00.000-06:00I grew up on a sheep farm.

The sheep are way, way too much work (but you don't have to be filthy rich to own them, they are rather inexpensive animals to keep as long as you have enough grass!)<br /><br />I buy the acrylic because it is machine washable, and I refuse to hand wash things for my kids given the number of times thing sget chichimamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549929656881693553noreply@blogger.com
