dry clean only?

[germyrabbit]

hello, have bought \link{http://www.asos.com/French-Connection/French-Connection-Sabine-Knitted-Jumper/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2341949&SearchQuery=french%20connection%20sabine&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Black\this} in the sale and just noticed it's dry clean only!

i would never be arsed to take it to the cleaners really so can it be handwashed do you think? otherwise i will send it back!
thanks

Why would they make a jumper that you have to dry clean only. Why???
It's weird as it's made of cotton/linen and they normally wash well.

It would probably be ok with a handwash.

(sorry for the useless post)

Hand wash in luke warm water - spin dry in the machine and dry in a hanger or if it's v heavy then on the radiator or near it if it looks like it might shrink
