Here's the latest - a turquoise/blue/green/lavender mixture from Garn Studio. The yarn is called Fabel and is very cheap, at about 2.35 euros a 50g ball.
It's lovely to work with and reminds me of one Maarit had which had some Aloe Vera on it to make it smoother...
Balls...
...in the washing machine...
I have some washing in the machine right now, with a 'mineral ball' which replaces the detergent. Not only because I'm conservation-conscious, but also because I have to be careful what chemicals (if any) go into my fosse (septic tank). I'll let you know how the washing turns out...
I saw, in the supermarket today, that you can buy a ball which lasts for 3 years, but it is nearly 30 euros! These were only 5 euros for two!

Isn't it amazing how the sock wool makes such perfect stripes. Mags has a wool called Crofter which looks just like fair isle when knitted, without all the hassle. I am interested to hear how the laundry turns out. I love the idea of not using detergent.
It dosent take you long to knit socks
the wool is lovely
i would also be interested in the washing machine balls
