Hi Steffi and welcome! I just recently started my 2nd dreadlock journey also. This post was super helpful for me when I got started:
Try ripping a sweater, then try picking apart felt with your fingers felting takes long wool fibers and sh reads them to peices…tiny peices he,d together by the shredded ends
nothing is more severely damaging then needles especially felting
these are the results of just going camping a few weeks
Welcome but stop that! The felting needle is the most destructive thing you can do you can literally turn your haor into a powder that blows away the crochet hooks second worse
rubbing should only be done one time…if at all
just leave them alone they will dread don’t force it don’t brutalize them
