[Regia-NA] washing fabric

[Hrolf Douglasson]

linen.
use sewing machine to zigzag the edges so they don't frey everywhere.
bung in washing machine on a 40-50degree cetigrade wash..normal wash.
wool
two ways
1 fill largest pot you have with wools and water, bring up to hot water on
stove..don't stir as you make felt like that:)
leave to cool by itself and drip dry over line.
2 put  dry wool into very hot water, and leave to cool.
wool felts when it is agitated or changes temperature quickly
this is how i pre treat my stuff.
