<p>“You all make me feel like a complete slacker. I wash wool stuff in cold water in the delicate cycle in the front-loading washer. Even cashmere.”</p>
<p>Trust me, I’m as “lazy” as you are. 
When I say handwashing, I mean the handwash cycle on my Miele. My washer totally spoiled me. Since I do not know what kind of washer HIMom has, and she only needed to wash one item, the recommendation was to do it by hand. I would not trust my delicate knits to any washer, but Miele does a fantastic job. I used to knit a lot when I was in college for stress relief and during long flights home, and I’ve done a lot of blocking, too. A large glass jug works well to shape knit hats. :)</p>
