You might have seen my earlier thread inquiring about good places to buy wool. I was thinking ready-to-work-with wool, and a generous member is actually sending me some scraps.
But there were also folks who suggested thrift stores.

While running errands today I went in a charity shop that sells everything from books to curtains, shoes to appliances, and clothing to video tapes.

I bought 8 men's jackets, all wool, for $7. So... Now what? I have to wash them in hot water, then dry them, right? Should I use fabric softener? Do I cut them apart first? If I do that, wouldn't they ravel a lot?

Thank you for your help!
