Comment on Can I soak dry clean only drapes? by PATRICIA MS

I did mine. The big thing you will notice is the lining stretches. I had to sew mine up after washing. AND I had to iron them.

If the label states dry clean only. then that is what you should do i don’ think it is a good idea to wash them yourself, but if you want to try it just do it but be prepared if the worst should happen

You are most likely right. I would always use very mild laundry detergent or diluted laundry detergent. Usually the dry clean only label has to do with colors running and/or shrinkage due to heat from the drier. Obviously cold water also.

I recommend going on http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Weaving Pretty useful stuff…

Go ask Malcolm in the General Shop and ask him about Skills.
Go get a sharp object like a sword, but just use a Gathering Knife, from Deian where all the sheeps are in the Pasture.
Shear the sheeps 5 times and return to Malcolm with the wool.

Comment on I am considering purchasing hair from the hair factory for weaving. For a full head how many ounds do I need? by JamaicanVixen

Which hair factory are you going to? Most hair by the oz can last up to a year, with good maintainence, and most people use about 8oz of hair. If your looking for hair that you dont have to be bothered with, anything curly will do, try wet and wavy, its really low maintainence, or if you want a tight curl. you can go with the water wave, which is really good, because the older it gets the better it look, if you want the kinky natural look.. just pick what ever length you can work and ur good to go

I will be honest with you, you are pretty much better off going to forums.blackhairmedia.com for that kind of question. Nothing wrong with Yahoo Answers, but most of the hair weaving gurus are on that forum. Good luck though.
