When I was blog browsing the other night, I saw a post on Daffycat's blog where she mentioned liniment amongst her latest stash purchases and was complaining about its scent.
This made me think about a cream which I used to use when I was stitching many years ago called udder cream. This is a great hand cream for stitchers as it is totally absorbed into the skin and then you can stitch straight away and it smells nice. So, I did a google search to see if it still exist and imagine my excitement when I found that it is made by an Australian company called MooGoo and that my local health store stocks it. This company has an online website and there are stockists in Hong Kong, Ireland, U.S. and New Zealand.
Now it is exactly what it sounds like - it is actually udder cream - it is used to stop teat cracks and keep udders supple! Here are the directions on the back of the tube of cream which I bought:
"Wash udder and teat parts thoroughly before each milking to avoid contamination of milk. Apply udder cream to the udder after each milking , massaging into the skin.
For teat cracks, apply sufficient quantity to fill crack and surrounding area. As an aid in softening swollen udders during calving, apply liberally twice daily with gentle massage. May be used for dry or chafed skin and as an aid in keeping skin soft and supple."
I can thoroughly recommend it as a hand cream for stitchers.
Have a good evening everyone,
Hugs, Kaye xoxox

We do sell an Udder Cream here in the USA...it is packaged differently but as you say it is good. I need to pick more up for my delicate hands!!!!
hehe... thanks for the info... i had heard of this, will have to pick some up.... love the part that it 'disappears' immediately :D ... thank you again
Udder Cream is the best, I live in Minnesota and the winters get very cold which chaps your hand, if you use Udder Cream this keeps your hands soft and almost free from crafts, I use it before I stitch it is almost grease free, I do wipe the palms of my hands just to make sure I leave no residue on my stitching.

I've got a couple of tubes of Udder Cream, but I don't use it often. It is great though.
