I have some pieces of Wool which I have been told I can use in quilts. However, no one told me how to use them.
If anyone has any ideas how to use wool, what patterns, ect, I would appreciate knowing. Thanks, Mariah |
Are they washable. If not I wouldn't use them in anything but a wall hanging.

Many wools are washable.
The main things to remember: 1) Avoid hot water 2) Avoid prolonged agitation One can wash SOME of them on a short gentle cycle on warm or cold. One can also damp dry them in a dryer. Some people are more comfortable line drying the fabrics or laying them flat to dry. I have some used garments that I'm thinking about cutting up. I think I will wash them like I wrote above - and see how they turn out. If they turn out well - Yippee! If not, I didn't want to use them anyway. If you do decide to wash these - do colors separately until the water runs clear. |
I was thinking wall hanging. What would be a nice easy pattern that would look good--lots of Reds, Blacks, Whites.
Forgot about the washing; will check it out. Thanks for helping me! Mariah. |
I have used wool for the background of applique pieces.

Thanks for the website. Might just be something I can use. Want to be sure it is washable before doing anything.
Thanks! Mariah |
There is wool batting which is nice and warm and can be washed.
