What do I do with my 3 sheep’s wool? I don’t know how to clean it. I might dye it. And I have a plan to make a few hair extensions with it. How much could I sell it for? Are there any crafts I can dk with it that could sell?

I also have bags of bird feathers I have collected. What should I do with them?

Breed, length, condition, color, quality, pics? Any wool break in it? From ewes or rams? Need all that to find out value. FB groups for raw wool can help you figure it out.

Washing is pretty easy, but some felt. So, best to not swish or press much at all. Cold to hot, then dry. Don't switch back to cold, it may felt.
