well,i had a smelly poorly washed fleece given to me and i simply washed it again in very hot water and dish soap. no more smell or sticky grease and dirt, tho the talk is a good idea if you dont have access to water or soap for whatever reason...

What a fascinating demo!
Many thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for this video. I have a few fleeces that were free that are clean, but greasy. This may help. As am added bonus, it was nice to see you use the English combs. After seeing combing done the more traditional way, separating the locks, etc., it's nice to see it done differently.

I'd like to try this on a fleece that a friend gave to me. It's sticky and grabby. This is the only fleece my friend has ever purchased and she used just water from the heater and
The powder you used, is it actual talc or is it the baby powder made with cornstarch?

@Gladtobemom Maybe your friend did not use hot enough water, or not enough soap and left some residue on the fibres, which, if left, does change to a type of sticky glue.
This would be something to try on your fibre. I used Johnson's baby powder, my bottle has - hypoallergenic all natural talc and baby fresh scent.
I did not know they used cornstarch I shall have to try some on my fibre.
The company told me the one I was using contains only talc, no cornstarch.

I am glad this might help you as this is our intention in making these little clips.
I was very pleased with my serendipitous discovery that I am in the middle of combing more of this fibre-which is so soft-to make perhaps socks and a baby jacket......Susan
