Found some Eucalan

[auld argonian]

Finally found some Eucalan, the wool wash, locally. Loopy Yarns, located in the old Baltimore and Ohio train station in the Printer's Row section of Chicago's downtown, stocks it and my daughter stopped and picked me up a bottle yesterday.

The good news: it's available in unscented, you use 5ml per gallon of water and it's a no rinse formula.

The bad news: $15 for a 500 ml bottle.

Obviously, you can do better on the price on the internet...usually see it listed for about $9.95...but the shipping will bounce it right back up to about the same that I paid for it. If you can find it cheaper at a retail store, I say jump on it.

So basically one teaspoon per gallon of water. Don't fall for the old "hmmm...if that much will get it clean, more will get it cleaner!" fallacy...it don't work that way!

Let you know how it works.

That's not really bad news in my book, works out to about 100 gallons of wash water for my purposes, or about 30 cents per wash.

I use it for all my newly handspun yarn -just takes a drop or two and let it soak for about 15 min. It cleans and deodorizes as well-it's fabulous stuff. I've had a bottle of it for over a year and it'll probably last another. I'll also be using it to wash Tom's kilt hose. I buy online and wish I could find it locally, but it's worth whatever it costs-a whole lot better than Woolite (ugh!)
