Kookaburra from Riv. Best stuff ever, the lanolin keeps the wool soft and it doesn't smell too bad. --- On Wed, 10/7/09, David Faller dfal...@charter.net wrote: From: David Faller dfal...@charter.net Subject: [RBW] Re: Slightly OT: Washing Wool Knickers To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com

Dry cleaning is expensive and relatively inefficient. In my experience, wool can be washed with cold water and a very spare amount of soap.You just have to be careful about drying it-I usually just lay it on a flat surface such as a table, and let it dry. You shouldn't have to wash

Larry: wash them with Kookabura in the machine on Delicates. I've washed knickers, converted from men's high end wool dress pants, thus, and they survived with aplomb. The Woolriches -- I had a cord du roi pair -- are like work pants compared to those. On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 3:57 PM, Larry Powers
