Hi, Holly.
Think of something you can put a lining in. That's what I do for most wool
sweaters or vests I make. I like a durable wool, which is usually too rough

I spin a lot faster if there is a lot of action going on. I seem to be able to

Not so much gardening that you can't enjoy fiber work, I hope
Hi, Margot.
I should have said Citric acid crystals. I use them instead of vinegar in
my acid dyeing of wool and silk. I seem to have better results using them.
