Have you every noticed how wool is like a "magic sponge"? When you put it on to soak, you need a lot more water than you might think - check this out....
Here is a stack of wool next to a bin filled with warm water and jet dry – as you can see, the stack of wool is about as tall as the bin....
Now here is the whole stack of wool (approx. 7-8 yards) immersed in the bin....
Can you see how little the water line has raised (it's below the top piece of wool)? Can you believe that I needed to add more water to the bin to cover the wool? I think it's so interesting - it made me think twice this weekend.
