Garn festivaler i olika delar av världen

Oj vad mycket kul det finnas att åka iväg på!

Är det någon som varit på någon av alla dessa ull och/eller garnrelaterade evenemang?

Kanske kan du tipsa om någon annan bra mässa/festival?

 

Gunnel framför datorn. Funderar över vilka garnrelaterade evenemang som lockar mest.

Gunnel hänger i buskarna

Gunnel passar på att fräscha upp sin fjäderskrud ute i snön.

Ullmattor kan tvättas i snö. Dammsug fram och baksida och lägg ut mattan i snön med luggen nedåt. Borsta mattan med snö på båda sidorna. Glöm inte att hänga ut mattan så den blir kall innan snötvätten, annars smälter den snön. Googla på “tvätta ullmatta i snö” för mer information. Leva&bo har lagt ut en instruktionsvideo.

Ulltvätt med hönan Gunnel

Ull är ett fantastiskt material! Det räcker ofta att vädra ull, gärna i fuktig väderlek.

Tvätta för hand alternativt kör på tvättmaskinens ullprogram. Använd ulltvättmedel.

Ull tål inte att ligga för länge i blöt och vill inte ha för stora temperaturväxlingar. Torktumla EJ!
