How do i...?

[toothlesswonder]

This is a really silly question, but how to i wash my wool with a small bit of a wooly wash bar?

I had planned on using my liquid woolly wash, and putting it all in the machine on the wool cycle, but as that's gone awol i can't.

I've come across a tester bit of a woolly wash bar so am going to use that - but how? And do i need to rinse before lanolising?

I've never tried but I'd grate it for a machine, just like soap flakes.

I put mine in a little mesh bag, in the dispenser, then leave the end of the mesh bag hanging out of the drawer. I take it out after 1/2hr or so and allow the rinse cycle to continue. Then when it's spun gently I lanolise in the sink.

The bit i have is about the size of the last knuckle of my little finger - would this be enough to either grate or to put into a mesh bag, if i can find one?

sounds like too much hard work... dissolve the little piece in some hot water and pretend it is woolly wash. Easy!

Wish i'd seen this earlier

Neither above suggestions worked very well - i ended up washing them twice, and they still are quite badly stained.

Anyone know where i can get more woolly wash from - and that take cheques?

I have imse vimse wool shampoo but I think I'm out of wool cure.
TBH, bad stains might need a severe hand wash.

Sorry if this is too late, but I find stubborn stains need a good rub with a bar. Holland & Barratt sell olive oil soap, it's only about 85p a bar, if you have one near you.
