trepidation
Jun 13th, 2010 by lesley
How does one wash jumpers? In the washing machine would be the logical answer. I usually wash them by hand because of some previous unfortunate shrinking and felting experiences with other washing machines. This usually means I end up with a mountain of jumpers to be washed because hand washing is tiresome and the end-to-end process from wash-to-dry is quite long. So today, with some trepidation, I am choosing to be bold and use the washing machine. It’s a nice machine. We have always gotten along quite well. It has a special ‘wool’ setting. I hope it doesn’t let me down. If things go badly, I can always make some cute felt toys, pin cushions, or fuzzy felt pictures. They will make excellent gifts.
The washing machine did a fantastic job! It may just be one of my best friends ever!
I always stick them in the normal wash, but in a fully-enclosed underwear bag. Works a treat :)
Glad you had a successful attempt!
