You can save the "shedding" and use for a pin cushion. I don't recall what you have to do with it but I'm sure that someone on the QB will know. The finished pin cushions can be expensive if you purchase one but are supposed to be great with helping to keep pins sharp.
Wool has a natural lanolin in it so not sure if that may help the pins go through easier when you use them thus not dulling them as fast or not.
