Last week we had a fantastic time washing our 'Tarry Wool'. The children helped me to wash it in cold water to get the dirt and sweat out. Then I cleaned out the lanolin with hot water. Tomorrow, it is time to card. I have got myself some teasels and knocked up some hand protectors from wadding and cloth so we're all set to card the old fashioned way. Although, having said that, we'll have some rather more efficient metal and wood hand carders available or we'll spend the rest of the year on carding!
