    Can the fuzzy leftovers be carded into rolags? Or are they more for stuffing ?

    • @nancylindsay4255
      @nancylindsay4255 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, they can be used in that way -- and for things like felting, making dryer balls, and, as you say, stuffing. Birds love them, too, at nest-making time! It's definitely not waste. At worst, it can go into the compost heap and replenish the soil. 😀

I've only tried them once before and wanted to see the best way to use them. Thanks again I shall point out your videos to the lady's also so that they can also learn from you.

  • @silversniperxx235
    @silversniperxx235 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I have a few questions about the actual process of making the fabric. 1. What kind of loom do you guys use 2. How do you get/make the fluff whefts, are there multiple methods? 3. Do you put a sealant like glue on the back of the faux fur once done. 4. What is the actual step-by-step process of making the fabric and how time-consuming it is. You don't have to answer all, but it would be a big help since I'm trying to find how people do it and so far no video at all helped 😅. Thank you for reading this comment if you did and hope you have a great day/night!

    • @Nurk0m0rath
      @Nurk0m0rath ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm curious about this too. Clearly it's a large, professional loom with a foot pedal. The tufts look like something you would pull off a carding brush, which would be raw wool but might be snipped and combed wool yarn. Actually my biggest question here is, is it possible to get the same effect by threading raw wool onto a yarn needle and stitching it through, or would that lose stability. Might have to test that myself.

  • @juliesalpacas

    The hanging baskets are brilliant. I'm just curious if you have ever tried to process the lanolin from fleeces &saved it for other uses?

    • @thefiberenchantress8589
      @thefiberenchantress8589 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have tried once but I found that the breeds of sheep that I have access to, do not have a lot of lanolin. Upon further research it takes a lot of fleeces and saving all the oily water then boiling it down to get a small amount of lanolin. I might try it some day
