If this happens to anyone else - that is, you have some unwanted sweaters which are not suitable for the charity bin, then wool can re very effective as a base for paths in your garden. The wool will naturally felt in the wet, and a light covering of sand/grit or any other path-making material will hold very well.

Another idea is to wash the sweater in a very hot wash, so that it shrinks and felts, then use it to line hanging baskets. This might also work with the unwound bits.
