The mystery yarn swatch
has turned out not to be feltable wool. So, I'm guessing it's probably
acrylic or a blend. Bleah. I'll have to figure out something else to do with it now. I could double or triple it up and make a bag that way. Oh well. (pouting). Shelagh |

I could try the bleach test on the yarn, I guess, but would the results be the same if it's superwash? Shelagh |

Have you tried that cream that dissolves hair from legs and such? Now, how
is it called?? If you put a tiny bit on a piece of wool it will dissolve also.So you'll know it is real "hair" and not synthetic. Sofia D "Shillelagh" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

I washed and dried the swatch. Even though it didn't really "felt" up, it did shrink in length from 5.5 inches to 4.5 inches. Maybe I'll have to try a couple of more swatches, since I have plenty of yarn. Shelagh |

Hi Sofia,
I remember seeing that cream advertised when I was a kid, it was called Neet as I recall. That was here in Vancouver, your product is probably a different name.

Hi David, I was so distracted that day I didn't even remembered how the
thing was called. Depilatory cream, and you are right,there are several brands. All of them stink but are very efficient :-) Peace! Sofia D "David R. Sky" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

David Two main brands sold in the US, IIRC. Neet and Nair. Can still find Nair at least because I remember a commercial not long ago about how it now comes with a plastic 'razor' without a blade to remove the hair. Tracey |
