IT WORKS!

For the record, I washed some good mohair this past week. Used what I thought I knew to do off the top of my head. Came out stiff, sticky, ecky, yucky!!!! Thought I had ruined it. Cracked out the Kindle version of your book , found not only my mistake, but how to fix it. I now have some super soft, clean, gorgeous mohair ready to spin.
I had my doubts....but!

What used to be a terrifying and frustrating ordeal for me is is now a standard operation in the fiber process. In fact it has now become quite enjoyable. The delightful scent of the scour soap, the excitement of lifting off the grease and dirt to see what treasures are underneath, and watching a dirty fleece dwindle down until it's all clean.
Check out the book "The Art of Scouring Wool Mohair and Alpaca" by Mary Egbert. I cannot wait for the certification class!
