We have had a lot of questions about how to take care of you knitwear. In this RU-vid video, we discuss and show, how to wash and care for knitwear. We wash our hand knitted wool stockings for our folk costumes. They have a beautiful cable knit pattern and as we spent a lot of time knitting them, we want to give them the best knitwear care.
Most of us know that i is important to handwash delicate knitted items, using a mild detergent, a wool detergent or conditioner for wool. We soak the stockings in warm water for about an hour, occasionally squeezing them gently. It is also very important not to stretch or hang your wet knitwear to prevent deformation. We also have som good wool drying tips and cable knit socks care. Wool has a good memory, and if you use the correct method it will retain its shape if dried properly.

Before I put my knitted pieces to dry, I lay them on a white towel top and cover with another towel; than I pat down with my hands to "squeeze" the water out, this helps to dry even faster. As always, very informative video. Thank you

I wash [hand warm water] my recently knitted vanilla socks using Woolite [just a few drops], three rinses, then a short soak in water with a squirt of hair conditioner, rinse again and squeeze out excess water by hand. Then taking two thick towels, I place the socks between the towels, and fold over a few times, to form a long rectangle. At this point I channel my inner Zorba the Greek and press on the towels with my feet [not too firmly] as if pressing grapes. As these are plain vanilla socks without any patterning/cabling etc. this technique works efficiently. I then lay the socks flat on a rack, as A & C demonstrated. The following morning, when the socks are almost dry I do put them on the blockers, which I then hang up, to finish the process. It may be slightly unorthodox but works for me thus far.

Well, I am glad that I am doing it right lol! Seeing your white woollen long socks reminded me of my late husband's working socks. He was in the Merchant Navy and had similar socks but plain knitted. I found a pair a year ago and decided that I would wear them to avoid putting the costly heating on however, my old legs are swollen so they didn't fit. I steeked them from about two inches above the ankle then I made an insert with a fully fashioned seam all the way up to the rib. They are so very cosy and I am sure that he would have approved. Pleased to see you looking so well xx

I lay my knitted socks on thick bath towel than roll up the towel an step on it a few times until the water come out. Then I take out the socks an lay flat on dry towel. I know that some yarns says it can be machine wash and dried but I want my socks to last.

Living in Austria, Europe, I recommend the brand "Sonett". They have an olive oil based wool liquid cleaner, organic, and you can use it for handwash and machine wash. I´ve been using it for more than 30 years and I´ve been satisfied ever since.

I love to see you fill in each other's words and sentences. And washing wool is delicate work for sure. Plus side of wool, you can air it. Misty weather works perfectly for it. Even woolen costumes can be treated this way. But socks need washing as they are worn on the skin on a part of the body that touches the floor. You don't roll in the mud, Arne?

Tip: For smaller stockings, I use metal racks with open squares. Sold as a shoe rack at Ikea, for 3,99 euro (in the Netherlands). They are multi functional, foldable, stackable and cheap. You can also buy a plastic layer, to put under the rack. Your table or floor will stay dry. (I also use them in the garden, in spring)

40 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? Kinda important. I tell my clients cool water, as i let some beautiful barely processed undyed wool soak in "warm" water, maybe 85F, and it shrunk enough that i had to ribbit back and redo several more rows. Panic? Oh yeah! Always tell them to squeeze, no twisting. And never hang a wet or even damp handmade wool item 😊
@Pinguinpullover

it´s 40°Celsius and wool like the one you described needs to be washed (soak in warm soapy water,soak in water/vinegar bath, dry) befor knitting - to avoid surprises. But you already knew that ;)

Is there anything to be done for sweaters that have begun to felt? I made identical wool cable sweaters and they Felted just a smidgen on the first wash, would a conditioner or anything be able to fix the issue? it was only just a little bit but after spending 11 months making it was heartbreaking
@Pinguinpullover

try a soak in lots (15 liter / 5 gallons) of warm water with a cup or two of white vinegar. imerse the sweater slowly, leave it alone. let it soak for an hour. lift it out, put in on towels, let it dry. do NOT rub, fold or sqeeze it good luck!
