Wool Washing in the FabLab!

raw, unwashed wool waiting for a bath...
feels greasy- that's the lanolin releasing

clean,

bagging the wool for transfer without agitation
skimming the last pieces out of dirt-brown water

cleaner...

transfer from wash to rinse tub
the last remaining survivors

And this is how they do it in Iceland...

A shop near my two-thumb mitten friend's place.
