#I love wool

[merulanoir]

Life hack: if you don't like doing so much laundry I recommend just buying a few merino wool t-shirts and learning how to care for them. Then ditch your deodorant and switch to Nuud or some other anti-odorant.

The shirts tend to be expensive especially if you compare to cotton shirts, but they pay themselves back so well. Nuud you have to order, but one tube lasts me well over a month so again, think long-term here.

When your body doesn't smell, there's less need to wash your clothes. Wool is self-cleaning, so 9 times out of 10 it's enough to air it and maybe spot-clean any stains. The only time I've heard of someone managing to make their wool shirt truly Smell was when they were sailing from Finland to Portugal on a sailboat for like, a month.

This applies to other pieces of clothing as well, not only shirts. Underwear you obviously have to wash, but if you don't like the feeling of cotton briefs being clammy the second you sweat, it's worth it to look what else is out there.

Mantle

Early 1870s

This mantle appears to have been made from a wool shawl woven with broad bands of boteh motifs, originally with a central medallion now cut in half at the base of each side to fall attractively over arms in wear, and quarter medallions at each corner that are now placed at each side of the centre front and back of the garment.

Shawls striped with pattern, sometimes known as zebra shawls, were an alternative to the ubiquitous style of broad borders to a plain ground or central motif. Particularly popular from the 1820s to the 1860s they were produced by European manufacturers as well as the original Indian avid Kashmiri centres.

people who haven’t read fire and blood love to compare house of the dragon to the version of it they’ve made up in their heads that fixes everything they don’t like about the show and/or sucks shit and shouldn’t be trusted. always feel this when people are like ‘oh show alicent is a victim but book alicent is indefensible’ is she? do you know her? is she really any eviller or more socialclimbing than any other noblewoman in the series? what’s a bit of ordering your little granddaughter to slit the king’s throat in the political intrigue and murder series. grow up

Taking inspiration from @milkweedman again, and trying my hand at a mesh drawstring bag!

This is my handspun shetland wool, and z ply is untwisting just a little while i crochet, so its coming out softer than expected! A big win, coz i definitely overplyed a little. Im adoring how the colours are striping.

I loved the photos from milkweedmans bags, especially of the washed fleece in the bag, so hoping I can do something similar and get the clean wool off the dining table 😅
