Is it okay to use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper when baking biscotti?
If you have a handknit sweater that has each piece knit separately then you need to start at the neck ribbing and find where the yarn end is buried and work it out so you can pull it backYou then need to work each seam's end out for the same reasonOnce you have the sweater disassembled then you can pull it out and wind it into hanks around the back of a chair or the chair's legsTie it off in at least 4 quarters with cotton string and then soak it in warm water to relax the kinkA few drops of dish detergent will also help to clean itIf the yarn is wool or animal fiber, don't agitate it, just soak it or you may felt itRinse the yarn in several changes of water that is the same temperature as the water you removed it fromRoll it in a towel to blot out as much water as possible, or put it in a lingerie bag and put that in the spin cycle ONLY of the washer to get the water outHang it over the loops of coat hangers to dry, usually at least overnight, and then wind into balls for reuseAll this said, after over 50 years of knitting experience, if you have a manufactured sweater that has been cut and serged, it isn't worth doing this unless you are willing to use really short pieces of yarnCut and serged knitted garments generally yield only pieces of yarn that are a few yards long at bestGood idea, but a waste of time, IMO.
I used to do that with my mother, she'd start at the bottom, where she had begun knitting, untie the knot, then simply pull out the yarnI used to help her to wind the yarn into a ball, a little tightly, and that would straighten it out enough to knit it up againGood luck, it is extremely boring
no but just go to a garden cdentre and the craft section u can get wool in balls for about 50p gud luk
If the sweaters are hand knit, find the end of the knitting, usually at the bottom, and work backwards Roll the yarn very tightly into a ball, this will pull out much of the kink by the time you use itDon't bother with commercial garments, they made from knit 'fabric' and don't have the long continuous pieces you'll wantBottom line, doing this is a lot of workUnles it's a really nice, expensive or currently unavailable yard you are trying to recycle, I'd probably save my time and buy new.
A better alternative would be to use a piece of brown paper, like from a grocery sack, in place of the parchment paperIf you don't have that, just grease the sheet pan and you should be fine.
