Sir Washie likes the taste of wool...

So, faced with the prospect of an unfeasibly large cone of probably chunky probably wool, I set to work with the niddy-noddy and wound skeins. Then I thought about how long it would take to wash each one by hand. Then I remembered some lovely little net bags I received for Christmas which are meant for fruit and veg... and lo, an Idea Loomed Large.

And the result was this:

Lots of lovely skeins drying in the breeze. They didn't felt, but I think there is some wool in there. Certainly lots of oil and they're a bit stinky yet, but another wash will hopefully sort that out.


Now being knit into an Ariosa short sleeve cardi and working very well.
