			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The majority of my wool I sell on Ned’s Yarns is machine washable however for wool that is not please find below some guidance on how to paw wash a woolen garment.</h4>
<p><a href="http://blog.nedsyarns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/handwashing.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-742" title="handwashing" src="http://blog.nedsyarns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/handwashing-300x224.jpg" alt="hand washing woolen garments" width="300" height="224" /></a><a href="http://blog.nedsyarns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/handwashing.jpg"></a></p>
<h4>Remember not to have the water to hot as it will scold your paws.</h4>
<h4>Protect your paws with rubber gloves.</h4>
<p>Fill a sink or wash basin with the hottest water your gloved paws will be able to stand ( if you have to use a stool to reach the sink, be careful it doesn’t slip). Contrary to popular belief, hot water alone will not damage your garment, abrasive scrubbing does. The tired and true method for cleaning wool garments is safe, delicate paw-washing.</p>
<p>Place a small amount of gentle laundry soap into the hot water. Add salt to the water if you believe that colours may run. Mix water thoroughly by swishing your paws in a circular motion. (This is the fun bit)</p>
<p>Push your wool garment into the hot water. Do not soak, twist or wring your garments in the hot water. Instead, agitate gently and rinse well under cool water.</p>
<p>Squeeze out water and lay your garment flat on a towel to dry. If needed, you can place a damp cloth over your garment and press it gently with a warm iron. This will expedite the drying process.</p>
<p>Never use ammonia or bleach on wool garments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I only like Dogs, I did have to have some sympathy for this animal:</p>
<p>A two-legged lamb born to a farmer in China&#8217;s Shandong province is beating the odds by standing up on its own two feet, but animal experts in the U.S. are sheepish about its chances for long-term survival.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.nedsyarns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sheep2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-730" title="sheep2" src="http://blog.nedsyarns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sheep2.jpg" alt="two legged sheep" width="170" height="128" /></a><br />
According to <a title="Rex USA" href="http://www.rexfeatures.com/features/m132b67a40/farmer_saves_two-legged_lamb?pl=16" target="_blank">Rex USA</a>, the limb-missing lamb was born to farmer Cui Jinxiu, who said the lamb was one of two born in July.</p>
<p>&#8220;The first one was a very healthy and normal one,&#8221; she told the press. &#8220;However, the second one surprised me. With a further look I was surprised to find that the lamb only has two legs.&#8221;</p>
<p>At first, the family thought the lamb wouldn&#8217;t survive, but it proved its strong desire to live.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought of dumping it after it was born, but the next morning it even stood up by itself,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>However, animal experts like former veterinary nurse Maggie Ahrens don&#8217;t want to pull the wool over anyone&#8217;s eyes: This is a difficult row to hoe for the lamb.</p>
<p>&#8220;Although dogs (yes we are the best!) and cats (this is complete rubbish) can manage with only two legs, sheep, goats and other hoof-stock will have a harder time,&#8221; she told AOL News. &#8220;Part of that is temperament, and part of that is physiology. Hooves are difficult to deal with.&#8221;</p>
<p>That said, she thinks the fact that the lamb rose to its legs is a good sign.</p>
<p>&#8220;Young livestock are &#8216;programmed&#8217; to get their legs under them and rise, if for nothing else than their mother&#8217;s milk,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If it&#8217;s standing and it continues to do so, then that&#8217;s excellent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, when animals are born with missing limbs, Ahrens said, there are sometimes underlying problems. She hopes that the farmers will be able to afford a complete checkup for the lamb.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the bowel is incomplete, which is uncommon, but not unheard of, or if there are other issues that surgery can fix, there&#8217;s a good chance for this little critter,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Susie Coston, the national shelter director for <a title="Farm Sanctuary" href="http://www.farmsanctuary.org/" target="_blank">Farm Sanctuary</a>, a farm animal protection organization, said the real risk will come as the animal gets bigger.</p>
<p>&#8220;This lamb could grow to be 125 pounds, and, eventually, the legs could break down from the stress, especially from getting up and down,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>In that scenario, the only option for a decent life would be for the lamb to be fitted with prosthetic legs or a cart.</p>
<p>&#8220;Animals with prosthetic limbs can live normal lives in flocks,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But carts aren&#8217;t long term, just for temporary paralysis. You can&#8217;t have an animal with a cart live with others, because it could fall over.&#8221;</p>
<p>Coston figures the lamb&#8217;s owner may not be able to afford prosthetics, but she hopes, if that&#8217;s the case, it will be donated to a sanctuary that can. If that doesn&#8217;t happen, Ahrens said, the only solution might be to put the lamb out of its misery.</p>
<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s clear that the lamb is suffering, the only kind thing you could do would be to humanely euthanize it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I do wish the family well, the money from tourists will probably help them a great deal, and I hope the lamb survives.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Us Jack Russell&#8217;s are so popular. Many of us are now film stars or hanging out with stars.</p>
<p>Read the story from Flecking Records:</p>
<p>Robert Pattinson reportedly grew so attached to a dog on the set of Water For Elephants that he wants to adopt it.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old actor had to shoot several scenes with a Jack Russell terrier, and he loved the pooch so much he is said to have asked to adopt him.</p>
<p>“The trainer said yes, but that it would cost Rob because he’s a show dog with special acting skills,” an insider said, according to Musicrooms.net.</p>
<p>“Rob laughed and said he’d pay whatever. He loves that little pooch.” they added.</p>
<p>It is not yet known if the Twilight star will be allowed to take the dog home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we all know sheep are bred for wool as well as food, but did you know that rabbits are now bred for wool. Well the particular weird creature is the Angora rabbit. These are domestic <a title="angora rabbits" href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/rabbits/" target="_blank">rabbits</a> native to Turkey, which have long hair. They are calm animals that need proper Angora rabbit care, especially when being shorn of their soft hair. The Angora rabbit lives for almost 5 &#8211; 7 years and weighs about 2 &#8211; 3.5 kilos.</p>
<p>It is believed that the French people introduced Angora rabbits to Europe. They were initially raised for their fur, which was used for making sweaters and other warm apparels. But, now there are many breeds of Angoras, which are raised as pets as well. Being gentle and friendly in nature, these rabbits are perfect as pets, even for children. <br />
Among the recognized breeds, the English Angora rabbits are very popular as pets, with fur covering their whole bodies, except the nose and the front feet. These rabbits require regular care and grooming to prevent matting of hair. You have to brush their coat daily or at an interval of two to three days. Regular brushing removes the loose hair that can then be knitted. </p>
<p>So, if you have a garden that is not big enough for sheep then why not try this rabbit as a source of wool for your knitting projects. </p>
