Reusing Wool

[Al M]

When dying and antiquing using wool remnants, can u wash out the wool to reuse later or just discard the thing and get a new one? Also, can u reuse the same piece of wool to apply dye to a second or third piece after the dye has dried in the wool?

Thinking of the oil dyes and antiques.

I use mine again for second coats, etc. throw it away if yo don't use the same color, finish, etc. scraps are cheap enough.

I DO have a small cup that I keep a piece of shearling with my neat's oil though. Had it for a year or so. chuck it when it gets dirty.
