Working through my very first fleece; a 12-month (i.e.10"-staple) angora fleece from a friend's goat, "Peggy" (no, not the pseudo-Russian credit-card guy on TV ;-) ). I knew not to agitate the fleece when I started washing it, but either I messed up or this baby was felted on Peggy's back! Still; it's given me a winter's-worth of combing in from of the television and the results are AMAZING! I wish I had known then what I'm starting to learn now, as I'm sure the whole process could have been much simpler, but I'm a "feet-first" learner, so it serves me right.

I wish my local station would carry Knitting Daily TV. They say they have a craft channel, but there are few needle-involved crafts The only way I get to watch is to buy the DVDs. I'd really like to win one of them.

Very helpful article. Apparently I've been washing my dirty wool at too high a temperature?! I'd love to try the Unicorn products.

I'm always looking for a better way to get fine wools clean in our very hard water. Would love to try these products!

This was a greast episode to watch.

I usually have good results washing wollen garments. I pay attention that the water is tepid, not too warm; that the water is NOT running on the garment as it will felt and I attempt to get as much water out of the rinsed garment, often wrapping it consecutively in 2 towels and than drying it in open air, if possible, but never in sunlight.

Now that I will try my hand on some fleece and am hoping for good results.

I would love to win. I have several 100% wool sweaters that need washing but am hesitant to do so.

I just finished a sweater in Trendsetters Kashmir, and I am hesitating to wash it. I really like how it is now, and am concerned that once washed it could potentially be a completely different sweater! So I will postpone the inevitable as long as possible, and at least get a couple of wears out of it before rolling those dice! I would love to win the care kit, and see how well the sweater does with it!

On a clothes dryer, Air Fluff and No Heat are big, fat lies :) which I found out early in my twenties when I ruined five wool sweaters at one go, while traveling in Colorado -- yep, all five -- and not one since I learned a few things. A couple of months ago (many years later) I found a bag of several different "tops", at a thrift store of all places, all unlabeled, just beautiful, at about the same time I realized I need/want to learn to spin. So much knowledge just in this one post, is well-appreciated. I am off to get the books... Thank you!
