Are these fabrics washable? Washable silks?
krazyknit   Beginner TX USA Member since 4/30/12 Posts: 23	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/16/13 12:07 PM I am getting ready to sew up two fabrics from my stash for spring. One is a silk linen dobby and the other is a cotton 57%/silk 43%. Do I dare hand wash or dry clean? If I can wash either or both, do I dry in the dryer on delicate or air dry? I don't mind if they are dry clean only: I just don't want to ruin them. Any help from PR is greatly appreciated! ------ Sylvia

Place the scrap into a lingerie bag and toss in the wash with your other delicates. -- Edited on 1/16/13 1:51 PM -- ------ “I don’t give them Hell, I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s Hell.” — Harry Truman
