Or new ways to sustain (and embrace?) catastrophic yarn loss

Oxyclean, as a last resort? Plain sunshine and lemon juice?

[akirlu]

Plain sunshine has been a bit hard to come by this spring -- I'm thinking it may be time to open a mud farm -- but come July or August, that may be worth trying if nothing else has worked. It's just extra tricky because there is no good way to wash skeins of yarn without risking them turning into irremediable tangles of yarn.

Oxyclean has a spray.

Yes, well done indeed, especially given that Tinka is not at all a big cat. Under all that fur, she's really just a weedy little scribble of a beast.

I'd almost prefer the umbrella trick, though. I've learned to regard umbrellas as ephemeral anyway. The ones I don't lose on the bus or train, the dog eats, so I don't get attached to them anymore.

Urrrrrgh. Surprise!

Even if you only come up with something like this once every five years, it'll well worth adding you.

[akirlu]

Why thanks. I think. Actually, I'd be just as happy not finding another dead possum in the yarn for another decade or more.... BTW, do we know each other in RL?

[mangoman]

No, can't remember where I found you.
