Lots of people smoke after SEX.
Gawd, I couldn't resist that!!!!
Noreen


A doctor friend was telling us that in trying to get patients to quit
smoking, he would tell them to have sex instead of a cigarette, and the
patients would tell him that they're spouses would NEVER believe that,
so, he would actually write that on a prescription form for them to take
home.
I innocently asked our friend, what if you smoke after sex?
He said, just as innocently, I dunno, I never looked.

YUCK! I hate it when that happens. If you haven't tried anything yet, I
have a solution that works pretty well for me:

Mix one part vodka with one part water and stick it in a spray bottle.
Spray it all over the yarn. When it's dry, the odor should have
dissipated.
I have no idea why this works, but it does! If you want a nice scent, you
can add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to the mix before
you spray...just shake well before you do. Hope this helps!

Hmmm, you don't think that is a waste of vodka? g

Yes but you can always drink what is left over!

Best use for it I've seen in years, other than mixing with lecithin and
canola oil for DIY no-stick spray! I think the hand laundering ideas are
probably surest for most yarns. I don't usually have Woolite in the house,
but dish liquid works very well at removing the oils that hold the smoke
odor to the fiber. If it's wool you'll want to add a little hair
conditioner to the rinse water.

YOU can. Some of us don't have that option and have to get really creative
with the booze people leave behind after a party, or bring as hostess
gifts. I can't begin to tell you how old the bottle of Drambuie in the
cupboard is. Never did find a creative use for that!

Maybe you could cook it into something to take to another party ---
www.drambuie.com has recipes

The little truffles looked quite tasty.

Good thought and a great way to make something that won't tempt me off my
diet!

I'd rather find another way to de-scent the wool, and have all the vodka for
myself. g
