Ok I don't know a better place than #Defaidodon to ask this .. Getting close to shearing time we'll have sacks of wool this time I plan to wash the wool, dry it and use it to fill some pillows. But I am having difficulties in finding a #wool #detergent for hand wash that is : 1. Unscented 2. NOT irritant for the eyes .. maybe pure Marsilia Soap or what ? I plan to wash some wool by hand in the bathtub, put it into a drier sack, dry it and use it to fill some pillows. Any suggestions appreciated!

People describe certain terms as a portmanteau of two other words, e.g. "fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe".

This of course assumes that everyone knows what "portmanteau" means.

Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau, combining port, from the Latin "portus" (harbour), and "manteau", a type of cloak.

In olden times, children of dockworkers would sneak into taverns by stacking themselves under one of these cloaks, pretending to be a tall adult.

@jaz does this mean that tootwales is three sheep in a trenchcoat? As suspected 🤣
