I love natural colored yarn.Natalie Rushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387944099923242141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-43401833460629866372009-04-16T06:39:00.000-07:002009-04-16T06:39:00.000-07:00I used to plank and recomb and all that, but I don...I used to plank and recomb and all that, but I don't anymore. My thoughts:<br /><br />1) No matter what, the longest fibers will always pull off ahead of the shortest. Planking doesn't somehow magically circumvent this "problem."<br /><br />2) The work of recombing generates a tich more waste and is a lot of work for (imo) a marginally better top. I decided it wasn't worth the effort.<br /><br />3) Tangential - I almost never recomb the waste on the comb. True, I can recover quite a bit of useable wool, but top made from initial waste - even when planked and recombed - has a noticeably different feel than virgin combings (shorter, coarser fibers in recombed waste). <br /><br />I am enjoying watching you explore the process! <br /><br />Thanks for the review on the wool scour, too, I am expecting a giant load of Romney soon (going to have a mattress pad made for my king size bed). I was planning to wash it myself to save some $.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807743649365159492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-87642898006165034122009-04-14T09:05:00.000-07:002009-04-14T09:05:00.000-07:00Wow thanks for sharing.

Maybe just a stripey or fair isle yoke?oratahttp://featherandfan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-58668148328293342972009-04-13T16:53:00.000-07:002009-04-13T16:53:00.000-07:00I love you blog already but this is definitely one...I love you blog already but this is definitely one of my all time favorite posts, thanks for sharing your insights!
