Like Alexandra said above, I sort of think of it like pre-washing fabric (which I also do for those reasons, not just pre-shrinking) - except pre-washing a ball of yarn seems way too difficult. (Although, there are people who do that and swear by it!)ms. modistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538521450859920972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-13822188992388214752011-05-14T22:56:01.625-04:002011-05-14T22:56:01.625-04:00That was a huge, huge outage for Blogger...which i...That was a huge, huge outage for Blogger...which is really Google.WendyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985099019783464580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-51168162755464229102011-05-14T21:04:59.339-04:002011-05-14T21:04:59.339-04:00F: They said it was EASY!

My question...I full immersion wet block everything. My question for those who dont is: how do they launder their garments? After being hauled around with me for months, being brought into the stink of coffee shops for knit groups and whatnot... that shiz needs a wash. Just my opinion, of course. <br /><br />The trick is just to avoid over-handling (and stretching) the wet garment. Gently squeeze by hand, and then roll up in a thick towel to press the water out. For small items I use a salad spinner first.<br /><br />(I'm sure steam blocking works comparably in terms of the efffect on the fit/drape of the fabric, though. Not sure if it would even out tension/stitches as well as a wet block? Never paid enough attention to that to say for sure.)ms. modistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538521450859920972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-41562367757546240552011-05-14T11:22:38.191-04:002011-05-14T11:22:38.191-04:00I've always used some combo of steam, wet clot...I've always used some combo of steam, wet clothes, etc. I've never done full immersion - it sounds like a mess!<br /><br />That sweater is super awesome!
