Last week I decided to try a different way to knit with Briggs & Little yarn. That is by pre-washing. So here are the simple steps.
 |
| Wash skein in mild soapy water. Rinse in clear water, twice. |
 |
| Hand squeese out water then lay on a towel. Fold the towel over and squeese more water out. |
 |
| Then hang to air dry. |
Well, I had these three skeins washed and hanging in my bathroom for a day before we left for Cuba. They were quite dry and I couldn't quite feel a difference in the texture, but maybe knitting with it will give more of a true test of the feel. I'll be knitting a Rococo Shawl this when we go to South Carolina next month, so I'll update you then.
