It looked smooth. The mini mills one has a deep pattern in the surface that leaves a pattern. I haven't seen it used by anyone that knows how to make felt. The place I saw it they where using the waste to felt. So they where not starting out very well. Ann Shepherds' Spring Farm North Gower

Did you/they make your own felting machine? The only ones I've seen are the mini mills one. it was very aggressive and left a large distinct indented pattern on the felt. Ann Shepherds' Spring Farm North Gower, On Canada http://www.shepherdsspringfarm.ca/ _ From: fibernet

Thanks everyone I will probably just end up with mouse traps and some poison. Perhaps I will bring a cat with me sometimes when I am working. But that may be more trouble than the mice. :O) Ann Shepherds' Spring Farm North Gower, On Canada http://www.shepherdsspringfarm.ca

It is usually the dander (mites when on the animal) All animals have dander, even people. Mites are a parasite and although they can cause allergies they are not the same as dander. Dander: a thin flake of dead epidermis shed from the surface of the skin Dander is material shed from the body

looked like dander is all gone! And very quickly too -- usually within 24 hrs. There really is no such thing as dander (flakey skin ) in fiber animals. - Original Message - From: Shepherds Spring Farm To: fiber...@yahoogroup mailto:fibernet%40yahoogroups.com s.com Sent: Sunday, February
