Sweater weather is here. So are chili drips, mud on the boots and that one buffalo-wing incident.
Quick answer: wash flannel cold and inside out, hand-wash or gently wash wool, pretreat grease right away and wash summer clothes before storing them.
Flannel
- Wash cold, inside out, to reduce pilling.
- Dry low or line dry to stop shrinking.
- Skip softener. Flannel gets softer on its own.
Flannel is like a friendship. It gets better with time.
Wool
Gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water, then dry flat (read it). Check the tag first.
