Rayon Cotton

Posted in Yarn | No Comments »

Can I machine wash a sweater that says "hand wash or machine wash" (60% Rayon / 40% Cotton)? Thanks

Sorry-- it says DRY CLEAN (not machine wash). I can't seem to amend my question =P

I have zippered nets for ALL of my sweaters (except the 100% cashmere ones.) Turning the sweaters inside out precents pilling, put them in the nets, wash as usual. It's good to air dry them, unless it says to dry on low, then keep them in the nets, and remove while very slightly damp to hang out the wrinkles. I do not own an iron, and many have said my sweaters look new - when quite a few of them are over 5 years old. Have a healthy and happy new year!
