Here's a tip!

I have managed to amass a wide,varied and weird collection of knitting tips, and it is time that I shared these with you all.

so,
a good one:

Homemade Woolwash ( for when you are feeling virtuously budget minded)

500g lux flakes, or grated washing soap (sunlight, castile etc)
15 mls glycerine (from the chemist or supermarket)
15 mls eucalyptus or lavender oil
75 mls white meths

mix together, place in a jar.
To use:
1T to a basin of warm water ( or 1/4 c to washing machine)
Do not rinse.
