Many are nrachine washable. However, because of its physicaf properties,
wool may shrink during washing As a general rule, if it can be hand
washed, it can be "washed'' by soaking in the water. A liquid detergent
is preferred because it dissolves taster in a soak than granulated. Pre-treat
woolens with liauid deteraent. Never use chlorine bleach.
