conditioning yarn
I experimented a little too much with a couple of skeins of wool that I was dying and the yarn came out kind of dry and rough. I tried rinsing with my favorite hair conditioner and it worked wonders! The yarn was much softer and mmm coconutty!

Otherwise known as Ms. Busy Fingers.
In my free time this winter I experimented a lot with dyeing yarn with natural stuff like oak bark and pine needles. The colors from nature are so alive! I've been crocheting for several years now - took to it with a vengeance! When I am not hookin, I take care of the rich people's gardens out here on this rock in the sea.

:D I approve of coconutty. I've got some old skeins that I've been holding onto for a while that are rough that I plan on trying this out on.
if hair conditioner works,what about downey or snuggle?
A lot of conditioners say they're safe for color treated hair, so I'm guessing that would apply to dyed yarn?
Great ideas! Will this apply to acrylic yarn as well? Acrylic yarns do have this funky smell that I wish I can get rid off.
