I don’t know what happened.
I blocked this sweater I’m working on and now the yarn’s all hard.
I washed it using eucalan, or more like dunked it.
Now it’s not soft at all, and a little stiff even.
But it was supposed to dry flat?
Where did I go wrong??
It was jaeger matchmaker, if that matters. Is that just bad yarn?
I haven’t used the yarn, but read that it’s machine washable. I don’t know if that would make a difference, though.
Maybe you could try rinsing it with hair conditioner? That’s supposed to soften wool.
Try rinsing it in plain water - it sounds like something dried on your wool. If the water from your tap has lots of minerals in it, you might want to get a gallon or two of distilled water to rinse with.
The yarn is machine washable. I would run it through the delicate setting and see what happens.
I think you’re right, psammeadred! -
I hope it just washes out again.
I & C - the washers here like to gnaw, sbut maybe if this doesn’t work I will try to find a safe one somewhere else.
thanks!
