I also ordered the "Eight Steps in Woolen Manufacturing" which includes actual pieces of wool (pre-washed and carded), washed wool, carded wool, a little vial of lanolin, thread and actual woven cloth! It's a great visu...

Great for those kinesthetic learners! I just had to share for those of you who like to plan ahead! I'...
