You can oil it again. A few drops of mineral oil in a sink of water . . . squeeze through until evenly distributed. If it's a delicate woolen, so that you don't want it to be "oily," mix a few drops of mineral oil in with the shampoo and water. As you wash the garment, it will restore the oils.Cynth wrote:You know, I never thought to try that. It sounds like quite a good idea. I often use detergent, which I know is too harsh and which strips too much of the oils out of wool.

... I sense a bad 'sheep joke' on the verge of happening. See how your tatoo has driven us to stoop to this awful level of humor in poor taste (...except the rack of lamb, yummy!)

Sheep jokes? Sheep jokes?Joseph E. Smith wrote: ... I sense a bad 'sheep joke' on the verge of happening. See how your tatoo has driven us to stoop to this awful level of humor in poor taste (...except the rack of lamb, yummy!) Amar?
What could there be about sheep to joke about? Insult to injury . . . first you threaten to eat me and then you threaten me with . . . jokes!
The indignity of it all . . . sniff.
Sigh. Well, Joseph, I suppose if there were anything to joke about, you'd know all about it, being as how you're in the veterinary industry. First-hand experience, no doubt.

I know a few sheep jokes, but they're all derogatory to Aggies (Texas A&M) and not fit for a family forum.Joseph E.

Over here they get told about the Principality just to the west of England. Which reminds me, where is Perrins57 all of a sudden? Seems to have lost interest in this thread for some reason.missy wrote:jsluder wrote:

Any more things you want a sound for?

Pink is more a tint of red than it is just light red. You don't get pink by just decreasing the amount of red, but by adding white, hence, a "tint.' Pink isn't light red, therefore. Not really. I don't think.I.D.10-t wrote:….and why is it that light red get’s own name “pink” when light green, light purple, light blue and yellow do not?
The corresponding tint of purple is lavender. The tint of blue is baby blue. The tint of yellow is butter (or baby yellow) The tint of green is . . . umm . . . celery, mint (although it pains me to use that word), or baby green.
