The work is then dried as explained below. The following washesWe recommend hand washing as the wool programs of washing machines are very different. If you have a good washing machine with a gentle wool program, you can wash your Organic Wool product in the machine. Use only a little wool detergent without enzymes. Use laundry bag, max 30 degrees and 800 rpm. DryingWipe flat on (e.g. a towel) and slide your knitted / crocheted work into place. The wool can stretched a lot in washing but will contract giving the right fullness when dried flat and blocked to measure.
