I come to the Turners' Forum with a pressing, possibly sanity-shattering question :

I'm not an experienced turner, however I'm working on a project that requires a bunch of spindles, so I've found myself, for the last few days, in front of my lathe, standing in heaps of cherry wood chips. My issue is that the wood chips stick to my socks and, when I do laundry, I end up picking the chips off my socks for what seems like an eternity. Now, maybe you turners see no issue here and you consider woody socks an unavoidable consequence of your avocation. ..But if anyone's faced this perplexing issue and found a solution, I'd love to hear it. I yield to y'all's superior knowledge.
