Land Alliance Folk School, 1259 Rohret Rd SW, Oxford, IA 52322

Service Description

This workshop will break down the wool washing process into clear, approachable steps. Our goal is to make scouring fun and stress-free. We want you to feel confident handling raw fleece from start to finish. Together, we’ll walk through the process step by step while everyone scours 8 ounces of raw wool. We will cover the supplies you need, the science behind scouring, and experience scouring together in real time. Between soakings, we will discuss tips and tricks like skirting, inspecting your fleece, and more. The result? A fun, welcoming, and accessible experience that will leave you feeling confident and maybe even a little excited about washing wool! You will take home the fleece you washed, along with the supplies you need to start scouring at home. What’s Included: - 8 ounces of fine wool that you will scour before taking home - Scouring Starter Kit - Contains: 3.5-gallon bucket with lid, mesh laundry bag, 4-oz Beyond Clean detergent, measuring cup, thermometer, gloves, and Guide to Scoring. - Lunch is provided; please feel free to bring a snack to share. Please note: We will handle hot water, dirty fleece, and lift buckets of water. If you need accommodations, please notify us in advance. Your fleece will be damp when you leave and needs to be laid out to dry.
