One question on the Moose Milk Dave, what quantity of pillow ticking does the recipe treat? What width do you usually like to cut the strips? I am going to grab 2-3 yards of it. When you wash the ticking are you using soap or just rinsing it in the wash cycle?
Well I make the moosemilk up by the quart and that last about two years. It keeps fine, just shake the liquid up before you use it again and it turns right back into milk. I keep a small bottle to spritz the cloth from time to time but that's all.
Width, I like the strips wide, maybe 1-1/2 to two inches. Actually, I tear it every 5th stripe. A yard of pillow tick goes a long way. Remember, that is 3 feet long and your only taking 3/4 of an inch at a time.
When I wash it, I do it like any other kind of laundry. You're removing the sizing out of the cloth. This helps it absorb the lube. Then I line dry it. If you dry it in the dryer, it will frizz on the edges. You will see that you can tear a strip real easy with just your fingers....
