A question to blogland...
What's the best thing to wash balls of wool in?
I've 2 bags of yarn, one that I bought in Italy in October that met the rat poison flood water.
Any experience or ideas out there? Thanks!

I have no washing ideas but I just wanted to say hang in there, doesn't sound like much fun. Glad you made it home in one piece after all those fabulous travels...hope the wool survives

Hallo, best way for washing your wool:
1) convert balls into hanks, and tie hanks not to get yarn mixed up
2) prepare a good quantity of luke warm water (30° Celsius)
3) add flakes of Marseille soap (1 table spoon/1Liter water)
4) plunge hanks gently into water, rise and plunge again for 2-4 times
5) rinse hanks in clear water at same temperature
6) hang hanks through an horizontal PLASTIC stock (U may use a baisin one) Stock must be in plastic, in order to not fade up.
7) change position of hanks in order to enagle a better drain of water
8) do not expose at sun light -best place is in a shady-airy place.
9) do not squeeze.
Remember: wool is a natural fiber and needs a lot of gentleness.
