LOL 'another' spinning *thought*

I'm always complaining that there's GOT to be 'something' one can do with
dryer-lint....
I've told Don... let's save it and use it for insulation or SOMETHING.. for
'years'...
(NOT a good insulator, btw)
This morning I was bXtching about it again... he said
"save it, and card or comb it, and spin it!"
I'm not sure if this would be feasible, but I sure thought it was FUNNY!
Hugs,
Noreen

You don't need to do anything with it, just spin it. You'll get
interesting stuff. Note: keep away from open flame!

PS... Don's waiting for the dryer to buzz... swear he's going to
beat me to it!
I just told him that whoever gets there first has to fold and put
away first... while he does that, guess who's going to grab the
LINT???

ROTFLMAO... splutter! Coffee on my screen! What a HOOT, can you
imagine what the Postal authorities would think???
Actually, I just had another thought... one could ALSO use it as
packing material... like the peanuts and bubble-wrap and
newspaper I usually use....
OMG, when I send Kelley her Christmas parcel... smurphhhhhh...
giggle, grin... load IT up with lint!
LOL,
Noreen

It can be spun, as is, with almost no prep. Just roll a sheet of it round a
smooth stick or knitting needle, slide off the tube and spin from the end
like a rolag. Since dryer lint is mostly cotton, we'd call that a puni if
we made it by carding and then rolling round the stick. Mostly it's really
short fibers, though and not a joy to spin. Making a puni will make it
easier, though. I do that with any short fibers I want to spin.

You could also use it to make paper, unless it has too many cat hairs.
Or better yet, just compost it, if it's all natural fibers.

Helen "Halla" Fleischer,

I think I'll WAIT on trying it, Helen!
Thanks for the great input!

Hi Noreen,

Have you ever put it out for the birds to use? I don't know if I would want to
wear something made of that, but it is funny.

Hugs,

Nora
