Once the yarn thaws (give it two days in a tightly sealed ziploc bag), any eggs should hatch; then they are larvae and a second freezing should do them in. Or microwave the yarn for ten seconds per ball (watch out for staples in the labels!), twice so the microwave covers all areas (they can leave cold spots). Or, if a completed object, maybe mutliple ten-second microwavings, cooling between to prevent burning yarn.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60600761195637657082014-10-07T13:40:11.607+01:002014-10-07T13:40:11.607+01:00I have a wonderful memory of a long conversation w...I have a wonderful memory of a long conversation with a Mexican taxi driver with no English and my bit of Spanish. Such fun. You always send me off in search of information, Jean.

The safest thing to do is to put all that unused yarn into a plastic bag and pop it into the freezer for a couple of days. It might not hurt to freeze the blanket as well, as freezing will kill any larvae that might be lurking between the plies (My husband has learned to bear the occasional freezer full of yarn as part of the cost of living with me!)Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-70051587777945223212014-10-07T12:13:52.576+01:002014-10-07T12:13:52.576+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-57438185702133839392014-10-07T08:52:23.305+01:002014-10-07T08:52:23.305+01:00Archie!
