Musty Balls

From a recent Guild Pass-it-Forward event I brought home several bags of old, ahem, vintage wool yarn for Charity knitting.

 

 

 

 

The yarn is clean but musty smelling and in need of a good bath. First, though, the yarn balls and cakes need to be skeined and tied before it can be washed,

 


 

 then in hot soapy water it is carefully soaked so as not to full or felt the wool yarn.

 

 

  

Refreshed: vintage wool yarn,

 

 

good as new.
