This is my "green/turquoise" crate which contains 10 ziplock bags of individual sweaters, many of which were prepped and processed at my daughter's kitchen table during the summer of 2010 (I also used many gallons of her hot water and pulled bags of wool lint from her dryer screen).
Having a very small portion of left-brain function, I cut a swatch from each sweater which I glued and numbered onto a piece of card stock by color. Unfortunately I have since added to my expanding collection and haven't kept up with the system. Very typical. . . .
And the contents of one bag--leftovers, actually, since I've already used quite a lot of this color in several projects. Hmmmmm, I may have to start hitting the thrift shops again before heading for AZ ( I don't have hot water in my laundry room out there).
And a couple of ways I have used my stash:
I really love working with felted wool. It's easy to cut (no fraying). It sews like butter. The colors blend together in fun ways. I'm addicted. I'm also into collecting buttons. . . .
