| I prewash everything before I make it. The shrinking is done...and now you can wash without worrying. I take the yardage to the laundry and use one of the large front loading machines, toss it in the dryer and fold. Hope this helps. |
|
| Just a suggestion. It might be a good idea to buy a yard to test wash. Then you will know how much it will shrink and if washing changes the texture. |
|
| well, everything I've seen says "dry clean only". So you're saying that I can wash it? Or that there is something out there that can be washed? |

| I have used a good quality polyester cotton to line drapes that I want to wash. After the first washing it won't shrink--if it ever does. Drapery lining of any sort is heavy and made of material that will shrink if washed. Because it is so heavy it would be very hard on a washing machine |

| oilpainter, thanks; I will look for what you suggested. |
