However - I have chucked the sleeveless top (from the book, Rowan Summer Tweed) into the washer and the ever-so-scary dryer - came out marvelously. Very soft, with a nice drape, and very, very little shrinkage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-1156862818676188242006-08-29T10:46:00.000-04:002006-08-29T10:46:00.000-04:00I've knit with the Summer Tweed.

I didn't wash it. It's a lot softer now than it was when I finished it. I guess from all the customers handling it. So I would guess that a good wash would take some of the stiffness away.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950204928718565106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-1156859214672513022006-08-29T09:46:00.000-04:002006-08-29T09:46:00.000-04:00I am currently knitting a poncho with the Rowan Su...I am currently knitting a poncho with the Rowan Summer tweed. I agree it feels different from knitting with wool but I am enjoying it. I am a loose knitter so maybe that is the difference. I have had no problems! I'll let you know what it feels like after washing.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042949957387659106noreply@blogger.com
