Hi Sana,

Hi Sana,
Me and my husband went to Hawaii for 1 week. I was working on my project at the beach in Hawaii . I was sitting at the shore, it was beautiful! But then my entire project fell out of my hand and fell in to the water. My project was all sandy and wet and covered in seaweed. I cannot wash it because it is wool and it would shrink. And my favourite crochet hook got lost in the sea!

Please help me, how do I clean my wool project without shrinking it?,

Hi A,

Hi A,
If you put the wool garment into a dryer, it will shrink. However, if you hand wash it in warm water, squeeze gently to remove excess water (do not wring the garment), wrap it in a towel, and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight, it should not change shape or look. You may consider dry cleaning also. Happy crochet!

By the way why do you not

This is the most gorgeous, softest knitting pattern I have ever done. It is so beautiful and warm. I made a blanket and added a crochet border!
