Knitted items

[DeathMetalMum]

How can I wash knitted items? Newborn had a white knitted cardigan which needs washing can it go in thr machine? Its the only item really which is knitted and needs washing atm. We also have lots of knitted blankets etc various colours how do I wash (and dry) them?

Baby yarn tends to be 40 degree machine wash, and many tumble dry too.

It depends which brand of wool was used, but if you are unsure then wash in the machine and dry on the radiator.

do not dry on the radiator. Blot between two towels or roll up in a towel to remove moisture then hang on line or drying rack or best of all flat.
