Comment on How to Rip New Wool (off the bolt) for Dyeing by Cindi Gay

Do any of the pieces have a selvege? If so, your strips will run parallel (think railroad tracks) with the selvege. The straight of grain is obtained when the wool is ripped. Never take a piece bigger than 3″ or so wide to the cutter.

I am a new rug hooker. I have recently purchased a strip cutter and a sampling of pieces of wool. The pieces are all 28 x 16 1/2 or 16 x 13 ” I am not a sewer and I am not sure what is the ‘straight’ of the grain. Most of the wool has been died or already washed, so I am having a hard time drying to determine which way to cut my strips on these pieces of wool. Doesn’t seem that difficult but I don’t want to make the wrong decision. thanks

The Wacom pen is used with a computer to draw more naturally, instead of using a mouse. The iPad is sooo much easier.

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and kind words. I lost some subscribers, probably due to the confusion and extra emails. Thank you to the rest of you for hanging in there. This process will be a lot of trial and error until I get the system figured out.

I think it is a wonderful idea and a most generous offer to do a weekly Q & A. I don’t mind getting caught in the first “misfire” and hope you get it worked out. Thank you, ruby

Sorry I didn’t read my email in time to join in. Now it just says Private Video. This is exciting though and I look forward to participating when it is up and running (so to speak)! Thanks Cindi.
