So I for context - I live in Perth, Australia. I recently went to the second hand outlet where it is pay-by-weight clothing that you pull out of bins full of future textile waste. I pulled out this scarf that I liked the color of, liked the shape and threw it in my basket. Save from bin now and ask questions later. Earlier today, just tossed what I could in the washing machine regardless of color and fabric simply because it all reeked of thrift shop clothing. Pulled out the scarf and it was incredibly matted and ruined. So I start to detangle it and I realise.. its knitted human hair? 90% sure because I just cant conceive another animal with hair like this. Its wirey and itchy and looks just like head hair with a cotton thread. Where could this have come from? Is it cultural spiritual or just a cool sentiment and concept? Anyway, I conditioned it like I do my head hair and I'm trying to de-matt it. Should I treat it like wool? Any insight is helpful! Thanks!
