99F per the weather report, 102F per my Prius.

I had no way of knowing how the Australian wool had been stored nor had I asked; it seemed ungrateful to after all that other-Alison had done to get it to me.

It had come ziplocked and that ziplock seemed to have been in use for some time, given how easily I accidentally poked a hole through it. Good.

I took it out of the freezer first thing this morning and put it inside a black plastic bag and set it out in the back yard to heat up.

This evening I put it back in the freezer. Just in case it was only warm enough to prompt some unknown thing to hatch rather than die: freeze heat refreeze and I wish I’d remembered to move it to the car in the hottest part of the day when I ran that errand, but it should be good enough as is.

If you’re going to have a heat wave you might as well use it.
