Hi all,
Me again. Thanks for the supportive and sound advice regarding ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ugly_crap the other day, it is much appreciated.
My question now is this: If anyone here runs their own web-based business, who do you use to host your website? Also, what does one need to do, and how much does it generally cost, to start accepting credit card payments? Is it worth it to do this or should I just accept PayPal and money orders?
One more thing, and I guess this is rather important... at what point do I need to get a real business license? Probably before I set up an independent sales website, huh. |

So my product just made it onto the community ugly_crap. Admittedly they picked the worst picture I've ever posted of my work to comment on, but some of the comments were downright nasty. The most recent accuses me of using "cheap weave from a Halloween store" and making products that look like "cat hairballs". This especially hurts because I spent so much money on high-quality wool recently that I had to cancel a trip to have grad school interviews, which was very important to me.
How do you guys deal with nasty criticisms of your work? I know to take the high road and not get into a flame war, but I'm still feeling all pouty about this. |

Hi all! Just joined this community and am looking forward to seeing what people are making, and sharing tips on woolcrafting. I have recently and very quickly become a complete fiber addict!
I hope it's ok to post a sale link my first day here-- I've got a pretty unique item for sale over at Etsy. These are small spiky "mini dreads" that add a burst of funky or earthy color to your look. I can make custom color combinations as desired.
Hope you'll take a look and hope everyone is having fun with their woolcrafting =)
By the way I'm having much better luck selling through Etsy than I did through eBay, I highly recommend it to those of you making and selling your own stuff.

Hi. Can you help me out with finding wide non lace headbands to hide your own hair when wearing falls? I'm looking for plain black and everything I've found is either lace or has a print. Thanks. |

Hey im Laura, im new here, been messing around with fake hair for around 6 years now and finally have the time to start something new.
i've recently purchased some wool roving and have had a good look through all the available tutorials and now have a pretty good idea of what to do.
However the only one thing im still unclear about is excatly how much soap to use? im going to be using a standard rectangular washing up bowl
any help would be greatly appriciated as i dont want to use too much or too little and end up ruining my dreads |

I normally wear synthetic hair but I thought I would give wool a try. Here is how they turned out after using red, orange and purple kool aid. I wanted different shades of red:

hey, I'm new here. My name is Kat & I'm looking to get into dread making for myself & to sell on if they're successful.
A while ago (about 3 years now) I started experimenting with making fake hair out of wool and then I gave up because I sucked. I sold all my wool and just put it all behind me. Now the craving as come back.
I bought some roving wool off ebay (linkage: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140086090158&rd=1&rd=1
so you know what type of roving I'm using)
I found a tutorial on a website (linkage: http://www.angelfire.com/freak2/rovingtutorial/) which suggests soaking the wool with hot water & *any* soap with a high pH (does this mean clothes-washing-detergent liquid, hand-soap, fabric conditioner?) to let it "felt" before twisting/moulding it into dread shapes. I did that, and it worked on the day but the next day it'd poofed out a bit so I resoaked and it stayed...now I'd like to know is this the best way to make wool dreads? The tutorial says to use hot water. I tried luke warm and then gradually got hotter until I settled with using boiling water (obviously with a bit of cold in it to avoid melting my hands) and then I wondered how can I make it keep its shape? Is using hair moose advisable? I thought maybe it'd help them stay smooth and stuck together. AS I said, I'm new to this and I can't remember how my friend used to make them - we've lost touch over the 3years so I can't ask her.
They seem okay for today (did them yesterday & day before) but obviously using straighteners will flatten them & I'm worried a hairdryer will make it all fluffy. (Am I making sense?) I was wondering if a) anyone had any technique for treating and using this wool or b) if there was another way that might be better. Also, how do you stop the ends fraying? One bit of dread is twisted and I'm worried it'll untwist and look stupid. I'll post pictures of my creations later but any help would be amazing!!
Thanks very much for sticking with this post for this long!
