Freezing Yarn

Noble Knits recommends giving yarn the the Cold Shoulder in the refrigerator's freezer.

Freezing Yarn Overnight has benefits:

    •  Dispel most unwanted odors. Works on cigarette smoke, cooking odors and other assorted smells.

    •  Freeze yarn purchased in a thrift or secondhand shop to kill any critters that may be hitchhiking.

    •   Before ripping out mohair and other fuzzy yarns, freeze them overnight. The cold will help the fuzzy fingers untangle and make it much easier to frog and rip.

No fancy tools needed either. Just pop your fiber in a plastic bag to protect it and pop in the freezer!
