A really good rinse afterward usually does it! :)Heather Woollovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791330032093043536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398142838267674947.post-83534890625236096402013-01-14T10:49:24.407-05:002013-01-14T10:49:24.407-05:00 did you scour the wool before or after felting

I know that she's going to become a fiber addict just like us, having to hurdle over the wool and into any given room in the house. The good news: She's young and will be able to hurdle higher...So she'll be able to have even more wool!!!! <br /><br />Big hugs to you,<br />DawnDawn Edwards/Felt So Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293988330029370205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398142838267674947.post-56460389306586593892011-10-30T23:40:17.261-04:002011-10-30T23:40:17.261-04:00Sandie--How beautifully phrased!

The best part is that the people just continue life outdoors... skiing, snowshoeing, ice-fishing, hockey... whatever they do, they just keep doing it. :-)<br /><br />I hope your daughter enjoys it. :-)Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.com
