    To quote you ‘put your big pants on’ I have had to do just that since mum passed away. Mum used to wash my woollen garments, bless her. I am getting quite good at it now. Thank you for being you. Cheers 🥂

    I always use Eucalan no rinse wool wash for my hand knitted items of hand dyed Cashmere Merino yarn. Soak for a short while, then wrap in a towel to absorb moisture and dry flat, no rinsing needed. X💕

    I was taught at school how to launder woollens. I took one of my Fathers hand knitted sweaters and when it was wet I could hardly lift it.
    Definitely looking out for the same de bobbler as you have.

    Hi Charlie, thank you for the really useful tip about rolling woollens in the towel. I’ll definitely be doing that in the future. Can I ask… do you use the Gleener on cashmere, or would you recommend a cashmere comb?
    I need a new debobbler, so after watching your video, I’m going to order a gleener.
    Thank you for all your wonderful vlogs and ‘how to’ videos, I really enjoy your content and look forward to the videos each week ❤

    Thank you for telling us about the Gleaner. Like you, I have used, and been disappointed with a number of de bobble gadgets. Only towels and linens get spun on 1400. I've found that clothes tend to shrink on a spin that high.

      Yes I think a high spin isn’t great apart from as you say towels and linens x

    Hi Charlie great video again. I was looking back on an old video of yours "Washing & drying your bed linen so there's no need to iron!". Can you do this with king sized duvet covers and sheets. Would you put them in one or more loads into your machine. I just wonder if it makes your washing machine jump around. Thank you very much
