Thank you, that was so useful. My first wrap (20% wool 80% acrylic), only my 3rd project, I just threw in the washing machine on a handwash cycle. It came out ok, but I couldn't watch it in the machine! The other 2 projects I just soaked in hand hot soapy water before rinsing them.
Thank you for sharing your method with me 🥰 I understand what you mean about not being able to see your project in the machine 😅 this would make me anxious about how it would turn out, especially if its the first project!
Hi Mylena, your scarf is gorgeous! Just finished my very first project and was pleased to see the video on wet finishing, thank you. Can you please tell me what the device is called that you used to twist the ends? - It looks amazing. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄.
Hi! I'm so sorry for the late reply. For some reason, I didn't see your comment when it was posted. The device is called an "hair twister", but I have also seen it marketed as an "hair braider". I hope you had a wonderful holiday season 🎁
If you’re worried about color bleeding, our sheep to shawl team has been successful with color bleeding sheets for the washing machine like “Shout” color catcher sheets
Attention : mettre du vinaigre et du bicarbonate de soude ensemble, ça s'annule. Le vinaigre est acide et le bicarbonate de soude est basique, donc les deux ensemble réagissent et se neutralisent. Je ne suis pas une experte, mais je teint de la laine depuis 2-3 ans (avec du colorant alimentaire). Le vinaigre est un bon choix pour la laine et les autres fibres animales comme la soie, car les teintures utilisées fonctionnent généralement avec des acides. Pour les fibres végétales (coton, lin, bambou, chanvre, etc.), je connais moins les teintures, mais en général c'est le sel et le bicarbonate de soude qui devraient aidé à fixer la couleur.
Oh!! Merci du renseignement! Je ne m'y connais pas du tout en teinture. J'avais lu le truc du vinaigre et du bicarbonate de soude sur internet, et cela avait semblé fonctionner, car le rouge n'avait pas déteint. J'imagine alors que ça devait surement être grâce au sel!
Just a reminder, I may have missed it but I had asked if you would show a video how you sew a hem while it is still on the loom and you said you would do a video on it, did I miss it? If I did miss it can you put a link in a comment back to me so I can watch it but I don’t think I ever miss a video from you I love your videos.
Hi! I'm so sorry, this video is not out yet, but I haven't forget about you! Actually, I had filmed it and I started editing it. However, I wasn't happy with the quality of the image. I'm currently re-shooting parts of it with another project. I felt like it wouldn't be helpfull if I had kept it the way it was. So, I hope to get this video out in the next few weeks. Thank you for your understanding, and again, I'm so sorry for the delay!
