Washing a wool sweater ...
I knitted a sweater for mom a while back. It turned out a little too big for her. I had this harebrained idea that I should felt it. Well, first task is to find a top loader. The two laundry mat near us do not have a top loader, go figure! So last night I washed it in our front loader, with towels and G's Keen sandals. He volunteered them!
Two wash cycle later. It is a little smaller. It doesn't look felted, it just sort of .. shrunk.I think the measurement is (ahem!) right on.
