You could dye them with Dylon machine dye - I'm guessing the grey wouldn't take too much to cover up, a cheaper option might be to soak them and then put them through the wash with a colour run remover sachet

or the cheapest option is wear as they are.

I thought about dying...Thanks for the tips. I have a fear of being knocked over whilst wearing tatty undies!:rotfl:

Cheer Lexbubbles.....I usually wash at a low temp. But I thought as they were light colours and cotton, I would wash them a bit hotter. I didn't reckon on a rogue sock!:rotfl:

Happy birthday Kim_13 and GemGem!:bdaycake:

I'm desperate for new hiking socks! Mine have worn thin and on a hike today, made m feet sore.
I will have to put my thinking cap on for a solution!:question::think:

Wow 32b3 - you wouldn't expect that from such an expensive cardi. I've had much cheaper cashmere cardigans & didn't have that problem. Very disappointing...

thanks for birthday wishes x

Kim_13

Thanks all.

Well done on the cancellation somerandom. Happy Birthday to you too

Happy Birthday for yesterday too both of you

They sound like mine dolly with just Gel on the heel are Gel zone 2 which I cant get now :(Still wearing mine with the toes out but I am not going to make an expensive mistake.

I have a lot of Cashmere was gifted loads last year all expensive makes and yes a couple of mine also leave fluff stuck to what ever is under it. Funny only a Black one and a Light Green one the rest are fine.I did handwash mine and they are much better now so maybe give that a go if you cant take it back:(

I am also on the wagon with nothing spent :T Had my haircut yesterday and normally would have a look round the shops.But didnt I came home :DWell impressed with myself

Keep those eyes shut and if you cant make sure what ever you buy sparks joy,fits and you will wear it before you open that purse :rotfl:

Belated birthday wishes to those celebrating this week.

somerandom - I used to have an angora cardigan in a divine mulberry colour - it was a beautiful thing and I literally wore it to death. It may be worth looking at angora too.

Thanks for Birthday Wishes

Dolly84 - that sounds like a good idea - I will extend my search to angora !

I feel SO much better today - much brighter & more focussed....:)

I know, I was very surprised. I've never had cashmere before but just assumed that it wouldn't shed! I'll hand wash as Mav suggests or stick it in the cleaners, or carry around one of those sticky roller things

I retrieved my duvet coat from the trunk I store my "deepest winter" items. Inside the trunk I also found a black cashmere cardigan that I thought I'd lost plus a can of Gin & Tonic ! It came back to me that I'd shoved loads of stuff in the trunk to quickly tidy up before my DS' birthday party last Autumn !! Feeling very happy about my finds. Could still do with getting a new cardigan but this takes the urgency away

Not sure if I need to count shoes but needed some new boots for work. got them in the tesco sale for £10 my son works for them and got me a discount so only ended up paying £8.89 yay
