Machine washing -- my experience

[room2ndfloor]

Was the machine one of the new HE models? I hate mine because there is no practical way to control the spin. They really beat up the clothes.

With the older machines, I could remove a woven wool item while it was still quite wet, then put it on a hanger and straighten the grain and pleats by hand, then let the garment air-dry. Knitted wool items, of course I block those.
