I don't see the crinkly pigtails either.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483505115508389454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820289.post-1162930778220108052006-11-07T12:19:00.000-08:002006-11-07T12:19:00.000-08:00Soaking is a must.

Then I take a plastic hanger, hook the part that pants would hang on onto a doo-dah (or hook) on the front porch; the hook of the hanger is where I put my yarn (before it goes into the water, I have taken it off the knitty-notty, so it's in a nice loop already), I take second hanger and place hanger hook onto bottom of yarn; i then hang a towel onto second hanger (like you would a pair of pants) I do this to soak up dripping water and to add some weight to "pull" the yarn straight while it drys. Then walk near yarn every so often and take deep breathe - don't you LOVE the smell of wet wool?? Hubby says it smells like a barn. I'd like to think a very clean barn!! I love wet wool. I need rovings to spin, just so i can smell the wool dry!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820289.post-1162930537596380452006-11-07T12:15:00.000-08:002006-11-07T12:15:00.000-08:00I don't know about crinkling, but I know that look...I don't know about crinkling, but I know that looks like very pretty yarn!!
