Hello Barbara Is this wool straight off the sheep, or do you need to clean it in any way first? I also wonder whether cleaning the wool will remove much of the natural oils in it. Quite intrigued by this. Agnes Boddington - Elloughton UK Wishing all Arachnids a good, healthy and happy 2017.
Dear All, Happy new year! I like to make pincushions stuffed with sheep wool, quite firmly. The lanolin in the wool protects pins. My favourites are small rectangular embroidered linen. I have a few heart shaped ones, made as triangle with two points stitched together with extra loop that can be pinned to pillow.
