Well, hey-howdy, fellow Texan! 🤠 I’m north of Austin! We launder alike! For decades I have washed my knit & crochet items in AllFree✅ (or similar), in zippered delicates bags✅, in cold or cool or tepid water✅ on “hand wash” or “delicates” cycles✅ of my washing machine. Then I dry them in the dryer on lowest temp, & sometimes finish with “air fluff”. Works great for me, too! 🤩
Hi Serfronya, Thanks for taking us along to experience washing the finished handmade items. I think that there would be more problems with natural fiber yarns bleeding and fading during washes. I also use the gentle cycle and bags. It is refreshing to see that the stitching and shape of the items remained intact. Great information. Thanks again for sharing😀
I just throw my knitted blanket in the wash like a crazy person! been ok so far knock on wood. Havent had to resew any edges. Maybe just lucky. Thanks for the video.
Hi Serfronya good to see you online again. Been wondering if you were okay in S.A. TX. I am surprised and pleased to see that the reds didn't bleed. I would have never put a solid red in a load with light colors unless it was striped with a lighter color and then I use the color catcher sheets. I haven't made a thing but I sure have been buying. Have a good one. God Bless and keep You
Thanks for the video. I don’t hand wash. I use those bags you use and the same detergent putting some things on delicate cycle. I need to buy more of those bags, I have one.🙄
You please show me how to wash knitted sinks place that you make and what I make and I want to know what different techniques of missing there and can you share another video with me and tomorrow didn't extend an extended next day and the next day and the next day and next day and my name is Hayden
I’ve washed plenty of my handmade hats with faux fur poms, and I’ve had no issue with the poms themselves. But nearly every time I’ve had the poms get a bit looser on the hat, and I have to fix it
Hi Luke, it's good to hear from you! That sounds like a great project but I can't honestly say that I will pursue that. I love crocheting blankets. But for whatever reason, on the knitting machine I enjoy quick projects that work up quickly. But please let me know if you make one.
@@YarnChecker Alright, I understand. I can’t crochet to save my life haha. And I was hoping to try and make a small blanket on my sentry but can’t find any good tutorials really. Maybe I’ll just have to wing it haha.
