Re: Washing bird skins

To get the grease out, the water needs to be hot, Then not let it cool too much so the grease will rinse away.

Re: Olive Dun Henwing

Thanks Ray! I got into a discussion with a tyer on instagram about bobbins. He has 80 loaded bobbins on his wall. I was wondering if he could recommend a bobbin to use with the Kimono thread. None of his would work without modification.
