The texture of the first one is just.. Mmmmmmmmm

I may inquire into purchasing some merino wool. Make a few testers.

No point to this thread really... Anyone else fancy wool dreads?

 

ooooooooooooooh i quite like the second lot!!

ive got some 100% wool somewhere, was ganna make a beanie, but i cant master beanie making, so i might just felt some into a dread or something. use it for a wrap and then felt it.

I used wool roving to once make some red dreads for a costume.

 

Why...?

 

They look soft and nice, but don't they smell like wet sheep when they get wet?

 

I happen to love the smell of wet sheep

Am I ready to have multicoloured dreads stuck to my own :O

 

Wool is murder.

 

More like Wool is Torture.

But if you shop around (usually local) you can find wool that was shorn ethically.

 

Also murder because animals are bred specifically for the purpose of human demand and sheep are usually murdered when they are deemed useless.

This is off topic but I'm just saying don't buy wool dreads.

 

Organic wool from happy sheep.

 

I've made a bunch of wool drewards, does anyone know how to get them a bit textured? Less smooth? Bit more roughed up?

 

velcro?

 

just had a thought... if velcro sticks to dreads, an also sticks to wool, can you attach wool dreads with velcro?!

 

You could do but I don't know how well it would work xD

Been waiting for some dye to arrive so I've been faffing about with wraps and shizz, SO EXCITED
