Tomorrow Goodwill here is having a half off everything sale. I'm going to scout for wool. Wish me luck.
BTW, often tags are missing with fiber content. Any suggestions as to how to tell if it's wool, short of burning a thread as they would probably object to that.

Feeling it generally work for me. You could rub it on your cheek. Or you could wet it and sniff it for the distinctive wet wool smell. Good luck!

I didn't tell you to spit. I take no responsibility for your actions at Goodwill. Originally Posted by SouthernBelle

wet wool smells kind of like a wet dog. KIND of. I'd like to say like a wet sheep but how many of you have hugged a sheep?
yum.. lanolin.

Or I could just go stick it in the water fountain. I'd have to wash it anyway, so take a little soap with me.

seriously, in my forays into goodwill stores looking for wool, unless i absolutely fall in love with a particular sweater, I just go by the label.
if i really like it, I don't care what it's made of. But by looking for labels you can come up with a lot of nice wool.
