    Question Best WOOL WASH brand please .....

    Hello all,

    What liquid ' WOOL WASH ' brand would you recommend ????

    Well, my delightful DD has inherited my knitted jumpers & cardigans which i wore as a 3 year old made with much love by my gorgeous Nana & also some by my Mum

    So, rather then wash them in my usual cheapo brand wool mix i would rather handwash them in something of better quality if there is such a thing

    I'm not sure of the fabric of the clothing i'm guessing some wool, wool mix & acrylic knit

    TIA for any recommendations or suggestions

    (Please note these knitted items are 40years old ... yeh, i know vintage for sure )

    I have used Wool mix or Lux, either liquid or flakes. If using flakes make sure they are dissolved.
    Now I just use whatever I have and rinse with fabric softener then spin in a pillowcase.
    The main thing is to make sure the soap is removed.
    Hang on a stocking threaded through the sleeves and pull the stocking tight and peg the end and maybe middle of stocking. This will leave no peg marks on the jumper.
    Hope this helps.
