Question for wool aficianados
Jan. 14th, 2012 09:28 pmWent we took our trip to Ireland last year we bought wool sweaters. Not wanting to ruin them I am trying to find the best way to wash them. (Can you tell I've never had 100% wool anything before?)
Info online is somewhat contradictory some says wash in hot water, some says wash in luke-warm water, all say do not throw in the dryer. I always thought Woolite was the best thing for wool but apparently according to more than one site, not so, says its alkaline and not good. But I know there are a few people here on my flist who actually work with wool. So if anyone has any advice or knows someone who is on your flist who might know please let me know. Any help appreciated. TIA.
