Would love to win and try this wash. I am a newby and have washed wool with Dawn dish soap. Found these videos and article very interesting. Thanks.

Last summer a friend and I flicked, scoured, dyed (with natural dyes) carded, and spun a Dorset fleece. We used lots of really hot water and dishwashing detergent, and it was a lot of hard work. Deb's way looks MUCH easier. I think we'll give the Unicorn products a try next time we process a fleece.

Thanks for the information. KDTV is always interesting and educational.

Thanks for these videos. I'd heard of "worsted" and "woolen" spinning, but never knew what that meant. I also didn't know that shampoo leaves residue - that what I've always used.

I've been spinning for several years and tried ONE time to prep a fleece. I wanted to go from sheep to shawl. However, it was the most difficult and messy thing I'd ever tried to do. I had not heard of Unicorn Fiber Wash.

If I win the Unicorn package I will dig out my fleece that I gave up on and prepare it correctly! Deb made it look and sound so easy. I love Knitting Daily TV and never miss an episode.

I just got reacquainted with knitting and have become an obsessive knitter...to the point where I wanted to learn how to spin so that I could spin my own yarn. I recently took a drop spindle course at my LYS. So now I have yet another obsession to feed!! Thank you for the plethora of great information and the chance to win the Unicorn Fiber Care Package!!

I learned quite a few new things about washing fleece. I did not know that mohair needed a cooler temp to prevent the fibers from getting harsh and more itchy. I have boiled it many times in the dyeing process. Makes me wonder what it would have been like if I had treated it more carefully. I really want to try this product and see if I can rescue some itchy knits that I rarely wear, beautiful as they are due to the discomfort.

I would absolutely LOVE to try a new way to scour fleeces!!!

I love to watch the tv show, when I can find it on my local pbs channel!

These are some very wonderful video lessons, reminds me of when I took classes at Steam Valley Fiber Farm on how to pick, clean and scour fleeces...not the most fun job, but necessary if you want to start from the fleece through the finished project!

I've heard that these are wonderful projects, but have not had the opportunity to try theim!

Keep up the shows, dvds, and on-line videos...as a spinner, crocheter, knitter, weaver and more, we can never ever stop learning!

Blessings!

Anne

Thanks for the great programming, which I hope someday my local PBS station will carry. I'd love to win the fiber wash, etc. I tried a sample of the wash but haven't had the chance to try the other products, which I know were very well-reviewed.

Deb Robson's segments were enjoyable and informative!

Very curious about the Unicorn Products as they are completely new to me. Have found the eucalyptus in my current brand of wool wash to be "rejected" when used on blankets or sweaters for my "grand- dog". Am happy to hear that there are biodegradable alternatives that will do such a good job of cleaning the wool fibers without leaving anything behind to offend the "grand- dog"!!! :-)

I found Deb's segments on Knitting Daily so information filled. I am learning to spin, and love all types of wool. I would love to win the fiber wash package. Thank you Knitting Daily for such a great program!

It was fun to get a behind the scenes peek at the details that go into taping the show!

The more I learn about wool, the more I enjoy spinning and knitting. Thank you for these segments.
