Earlier, I referred to it as washing, which is not entirely correct. I am not trying to clean the fabric, but rather relax the fibers &#8220;into a comfortable place&#8221; through the use of water and fabric softener. A lot of times though, like with towels or yardage, this does amount to just throwing the project into the washing machine. Now that I have a front-loader for a washing machine, I am able to do woolens on the lowest setting with no spin action and not get felt as an end product. If I didn&#8217;t have this particular type of washing machine, I would be doing the fulling by hand. In fact, all future washes for this piece should be by hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/waiting-for-wool-to-dry.jpg\" title=\"Waiting for wool to dry\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/waiting-for-wool-to-dry.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Waiting for wool to dry\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is just a matter of waiting for it to dry now. After it is dry, I might do a light steaming of it, and then trim the fringe.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2008 by G. P.
