can anybody help me?

I think that is pretty good of them and they are a company I have always had a pleasure of dealing with. A bit naughty though taking their time to get back to you and sending a standardised response.

Also aren't cardigans noted for their problems in washing as in loss of shape and deterioation of fabric?

One MSE response warranted a knock on my conscience though - yes, I use fabric conditioner - would that have affected it?! The label didn't say not to use it...

There have been suggestions that fabcon can cause some fabrics to disintegrate. I had a shirt literally fall apart in front of my eyes as I ironed it and someone suggested to me that fabcon was to blame - all the fibres just parted.

Since then - about 10 years ago - I've never used it.

Could be coincidence, but have a Google. Whilst "the jury's out", there might be something in it.

Are cardigans made from a special fabric then?

That's a good result Nicster83. You did have some use out of it so £16 is an OK amount.

Handwashing in Dreft is usually good for delicate stuff and then drying flat out rather than hanging up to dry.

Who hand washes these days :huh: unless it's urgent or it's on the label Read the label, if it needs hand washing, don't buy it as it will never get washed :rotfl:

1) People who aren't too lazy.
2) People who want to care for delicate items.
3) People who want their expensive clothes to last longer and look better.
4) People who are just washing one item and don't want to put the machine on because it isn't economical.

Washing machines are great but sometimes the old ways are the best

HTH

That's all I have to say about washing stuff.

well this is my slant on things:-

1) People who hold down full time jobs who can't be ar*ed to hand wash in their spare time

2) People that don't want to wash, rinse, rinse, rinse, fabric conditioner, spin/wring :eek: and end up with out of shape clothes

3) People that have a life out of the hum drum of the kitchen/utility room.

4) Expensive clothes don't necessarily need to be hand washed!

5) People have better things to do!

Finally, a £20 cardigan should be able to go in the washing machine.

Ohhhhhhhhh Honeydog :rotfl: hit a nerve there :rotfl: Like Debt_Free_Chick I have a super duper washing machine that has a 'wool & delicate cycle' (amongst others) :j so I don't need to hand wash. Although, I don't have a dishwasher any ideas Do I really need to hand wash the dishes :rotfl:
