Got conductive thread in your finger tips? GENIUS! And so much better than using sausages, SOUTH KOREA. xD

Rilakkuma, You’re ALIIIIIVE..!
The music might be SUPER annoying, but I love this stop motion amigurumi Rilakkuma building himself – though I think personally I might cry if I was making this and slowly unraveling the bits only to make them again xD Good thing he’s small!
The cat toy watching all of this with a rather bemused expression on his face is perhaps, however, my favourite. His back legs for sitting construction looks interesting, CLEARLY I will be trying this soon.

Yarn of Pee Freedom: Advice?
Java, my rather headstrong Bombay-cross, decided to take out his anger and hatred of us leaving him for a week by peeing all through a basket of my stuff in the sewing room. Not only did two books get it (AUGH NUUU AMERICAN GODS!), but a myriad of half done corsets, traced paper patterns, loads of fabric, a near-finished granny-square baby blanket and 11. Balls. Of. Yarn.
Poor Mandy, she cleaned up after him as he did a few other heinous things while we were gone, but she drew the line at the pee. *hugs her*
Anyway, AUUUUGH! I’ve unwound all the balls and turned them into skeins (OH GOD SOME OF THEM SQUEEZED REAL PEE OUT ONTO MY HANDS AS I UNWOUND! *cry*), and have washed them all in a super crazy solution including vinegar, a mild shampoo, baking powder, wool wash, eucalyptus oil and a few other odds and ends. They’re drying in the bathroom right now, waiting for me to hand re-wind them in centre-pull balls.
I’ve read through many other related posts on Rav, BUT! The problem is: I REALLY want to hang them out outside though to get the added anti-cat-pee agent of sunlight. But from everything I’ve read that’s not a good idea. Do you think I could do it anyway and hang the consequences or are the consequences REALLY not worth it..?
*flails and thanks anyone with suggestions*

edit: Ended up hanging everything in the sun. Bleaching the colour out is a lesser evil than throwing it all in the bin/being unable to use them because of the lingering smell of male cat xD
