Woolgathering ... literally

[olivermoss]

I've been going through my place and putting all wool into plastic bags. I am trying not to think of the sheer cost of what I need to replace. I am also trying to not think about how some of the felt around here, including a felt scarf, was handmade by me. Taking up felting as a hobby is likely what lead to overexposure and therefore the allergy. I don't seem to be bothered by older wool, so hopefully it's just the lingering lanolin and my stuff just needs a few washings to be safe for me to use again. But for now I need to de-wool my space and air it out.

I also have two bins of merino wool fiber and a case of felting supplies. I guess those go into storage for now.

Well, at least you figured it out before you were in the wild?

Hopefully it does just need a couple washings.

Yeah, it could be worse.

Oh no. I'm just catching up on old posts, but I hope a few washings did the trick!

A few washings seems to help, but my space is so wooly that I need to put it aside and clean repeatedly. Then I can see if I can re-introduce a few things. Hopefully, I can also do allergy shots.
