The wools I got from Georgia Landau have been sitting in dusty bags for untold years, so they have dust on them, as well as a musty smell. I have removed them from the bags I bought them in, but I still want to wash them before use. After some online research, I have decided that a quick dunk and swish in hot water with dish soap would be most effective, followed by drying on my drying rack.

Also in doll-related news, I discovered that I can hasten the 24-hour curing time of Aves Apoxie Sculpt by sticking my items in the oven on 200 degrees for, say, 15 minutes!

Wouldn't hot water affect the fibers, especially if it's wool? I thought wool shrinks in hot water. You could try cold or luke-warm water instead. Or you could try a small bit in the heat first, just in case.

I look forward to seeing what you do with all that fiber!
