As a knitter, I find that GOOD quality wool is a dream. Price really makes a difference. The inexpensive stuff is realllllly itchy. I figure if I'm going to spend the time making something, it might as well be the best quality!Sadly once it gets "felted" (H2O + agitation) there's no going back I only hand wash anything I make. I don't do dry cleaning. When I drop something off I completely forget about it!
RIP sweater..you were loved!
