Thank you really helpful, so good to see a man doing craft so few of you especially in the UK where I live 😊

Welcome!

We go to the laundromat and their washers are great. Their dryers have a low heat and an air dry selection. I know the tumbling action is hard on the items, but it's a lot easier than bringing it home to air dry. My cats would have a blast rolling around on a damp afghan. lol

We use the mesh laundry bags for a lot of things, especially women’s undergarments. I always use them for baby blankets. I have to wash a baby blanket tomorrow so I can give it away. My mom uses soap nuts. I use seventh generation or 9 elements detergent. I never use fabric softener. I use the seventh generation dryer sheets with wool dryer balls. We don’t use anything with fragrance of chemicals in our house because of allergies. When I smell Gain on someone’s clothes I get an instant migraine. Fragrances are endocrine disrupters .

There is a detergent for baby clothes and blankets call DELFT. Very gentle

If you don't have room to lay it out inside, use a sheet over top to protect it from direct sun and pollen outside.

Great tip! Thanks

I use net bags and give them to my customers. You can also tumble dry on low just to get the water off first.

[@Yarnasasecondlanguage]

Great tip!

🫶🏿Thank you for sharing. I had never heard of ‘soap nuts’. Going to research that to see where I can purchase them as I live in the UK. Also love the blanket stitch. Is it known as moss/linen stitch?

[@Yarnasasecondlanguage]

Yep! Moss stitch.

[@valeriegriffith3415]

I just wash on warm and sometimes I let my things air dry.

[@KrissD.]
