I would suggest only cutting and splitting one length of wool at a time and keeping the rest in a bag in the meantime. This tutorial is for making double ended dreads, which can also be braided into your hair (just like elysee star dreads.) So you want to make the dreads twice as long as you want them to hang from your hair. The dread will end up a couple inches longer and about 1/3 the thickness of the starting piece of wool. Then you will split the length of wool into sections keeping in mind how thick you want the dreads to be. I made dreads of several different lengths to give a layered effect. Next, take your wool and cut a length of it keeping in mind how long you want your ending dreads to be. I’d also suggest working in a place where it won’t be a big deal if something spills, or splatters. Just drink mix with no sugar,) because it’s easy to use and smells nice.īefore you start you’re going to need to cover the area you’ll be working in with towels. If you buy natural colored wool, you’ll need something to dye it with later, I would suggest kool-aid (or flavor aid, etc. You’ll also need baking soda (soda of bicarbonate), a large bowl, a few towels, thread, and elastic cord or lace. You’ll need a different amount depending on how thick and long you want the falls to be. I couldn’t find any nearby, so I bought mine off of ebay. I reccommend merino, because it dreads easiest. Wool roving, which you can buy dyed or natural, and comes in many different types.
To start out with, you’re going to need a few things. However, I found it very fun and got nice results so I wanted to share it with my friends here. I used many different tutorials found elsewhere on the web. I did not just come up with this on my own, I wouldn’t even say I’ve mastered it.

It’s a lot of trial and error, but you don’t want to be in the middle of it and have an unanswered question. If you’re thinking of making wool dreads for the first time, you should read this whole article, and maybe even look up some more information before you start.
