Hand knit woolens don’t have to be washed very often. When mine do I use cool or cold water with some Soak Wash.. The soak label says that you don’t have to rinse, but I rinse anyway. Today since it was nice and sunny I hung the mittens on the fence to dry so that they would be ready for bed time.
After I brought them in I shaved off the little balls of yarn that happen with very frequent use. My sleeping gloves are now ready for use again.
The yarn is by Merino-y-Vino on Etsy.com. She does a fabulous job. Her color combinations are delightful. She is a one woman show. The gloves below are a little over a year old and are used nightly.
The Soak Wash can be found in some local yarn shops or www.soakwash.com or www.soakwash.ca
The pattern is on www.ravelry.com under Sheri Karobonik. The pattern name is Maxi Fingerless Gloves.
*I do not make any commission from Merino-y-Vino or Soak Wash. I do however try to recoup some of the cost of the yarn for my designs from pattern sales.
