    Yeah, I don’t do dry cleaning. You either survive the laundry gauntlet or you don’t.

    The only thing I will hand wash are my knitted creations cause I put so much love and labor into them.

        I highly doubt that, most knitted fast fashion is machine knitted because it is so much faster and more uniform. I do try to go for hand knitted stuff when I can ($$$) and then I hand wash it.

        Edit: I should add that I hand wash it if it needs that. Acrylic yarn is fine in the machine, same with superwash yarn.

      I gave up on hand washing delicates despite their label insisting that was the only way a long time ago. It has never mattered for me.
