She hasn't been cut in two years. Her wool is a foot thick....hell, I don't know...bad. I will be cutting her as soon as the rain stops. OMG it rained today. I will be using your washing techniques and then probably mailing you the wool if it comes clean (remember offering that to a crazy Alaskan a couple of years ago?). If you want to point me in the direction of said cleaning post that would be cool. <br /><br />So sorry you are so busy. I know busy. My busy is not fun.
