I don't do real wool, because I don't do anything special-care. If it
can't go in the washer and the dryer and on the hanger or in the drawer
and then be worn, it sits around forever either waiting to be
hand-washed or ironed before it gets worn.

Hello, My name is Susan I am new to your group. I just wanted t say
that my cousin has a few pet sheep and she has gotten into making her
own yarn, She shears, cleans dyes and spins it. She gave me a few
skeins a few months ago and I have been in knitting heaven ever since.
I have alrady used it all up. Socks and scarfs mostly. But I do love
it. But like you commented it is more difficult to take care of. She
wants me to try felting but I haven't gotten the nerve yet. But I did
try yarn art. If you aren't familiar it is where you take different
colors of scraps and you push them into a thick felted piece of
backing with a felting needle and you make a picture out of it. It is
really cool and forces you to be creative. Anyway just wanted to say
hi. My main love of knitting is baby knitting. It is quick easy and
there is always someone pregnant around me. But you can't use the
natural yarns for that. Oh well... thanks a lot for listening.
Susan

Cotton is pretty washable, and I do use cotton.
