.... or in this case: never forget where "IT" comes from ....
because I was curious (and still am) like "It works like this with the wool" (almost "mission with the mouse in real life) I have indeed written before: I would most like to own a few sheep - I have taken the opportunity and Annette filzfrosch asked if they do not a bit like (raw) wool to get rid of .....
already in this post from her it had happened to me ..... such as the!! That's it! and to a small Resthof and then each "creature" a couple and then ......* dream *
back on topic!
what I really wanted to say so: Never forget where it comes from!
It is soooo simple, sit in front of the computer and the net somewhere to order the wool in texture and color and size, is needed. The selection is huge, and 2 days later everything is at home. A year ago, it took me absolutely not interested in where does the wool or how they "made" as "produced" is. The decisive factor was the price and quality. Point.
But now! Now I just want it (he) know! And so I was even more happy when today is a gift-pack, containing an I arrived:
raw wool !!!!! Unwashed, raw, just as it is!! Many, many thanks, dear Annette ! You have given me a great joy!!
The dark wool comes from sheep by the way Jackie, in the light, Annette was not quite sure ....
I have or not have the faintest idea what to do to the end "processed wool" figure out ... so now first was the good old Web asked ..... I found what I was hand spinning Forum ...
The essence seems to be the first pre-sorting, then what was almost my daily task for yesterday ;-)
in the sun (ie, with "warm" wool) could pull the wool apart better, which is probably because ( Beginners guess) that still contained fat (and believe me - it seems to be not only so said so, that the shearers, the softest hands have "ever") "soft" which is the fibers can not be together so stick very!. In the evenings, it became increasingly difficult auseinanderzuzupfen the bonded areas .....
way it was difficult even to defend the wool - First, to our dogs, who were interested seeeeeehr ... and the other to defend in the sense that everyone who walked by, complaining of the smell and the nose turned up .... I would have executed against almost fooled me .... can initially (as they came out of the package) the smell was quite severe, but increasingly "dirty absortieren" the smell was always "sweet" :-)
A little worry me these comrades here that I found is dead, but many ....
Who knows what is it? Put eggs, which I could not see now? Hmmm ... maybe I should first of all the wool in a few days the freezer pack ... so it should at least our Filzzauberlehrerin Corinna to destroy moth eggs ....
are interesting indeed, the parallels that come so in the mind while one is so edit the wool ....
- Never forget where it comes from - never forget where you come from
-I will deal with the origin of the wool and the career or just interested in the finished product .... how is it with me / us in the today's world? What counts? Man? I? My home, my career or just the finished product ... the man's performance, the quality or the product that I provide?
- The work process: what am I willing to throw away from the source material. How do I distinguish good (wool) of poor? ... And that is with me? What can I discard ballast .... how do I distinguish between important and unimportant?
!!!!!!! really interesting
after so much seriousness in between times implemented a different phrase figuratively ......
.... na .. who is on it?
.... the wolf in sheep's clothing ..... ! * Schmunzel * (in place of the wolf in this case one of our dogs ...)
later (Twilight) hour of my yield then looked like this:
.... today it is so then to the washing! I'm curious, because here are quite clearly separate the spirits!! Cold, warm, hot water? Pure rain water, shampoo, dish liquid detergent or wool? How many washes? Hurl hurl yes, no? Hang to dry in a (Curtain) bag, lay on a stand .... in the sun or shade ....
continued !!!!!!
Woolly Greetings
