Hi People,
Our first baby is due at the end of Jan :j and SIL has kindly given me a load of hand knitted blankets/baby clothes. I want to wash them as they've been in her loft for 8+ years but I don't know how. Do I was on the wool setting of the washing machine? Hand wash? Not risk it?! They're quite precious family stuff so I daren't risk ruining them :eek:

I would also advise a delicates or wool programme because i wouldn't want to ruin anyone elses things but my youngest still sleeps with my christening blanket my great grandmother knitted 34 years ago! I throw it in the wash with everything else and it still looks like new!!I will save my tesco £1 savings stamps this year! .......so far = £50 (full card#1)
Card #2 £6. I will not be skint at Chistmas this year!
Total £560 -
I would also consider washing them inside a pillow case as this will cut down on the twisting in the machine which may pull them out of shape.0
