I wash them with my other laundry and dry them in the dryer.<br /><br />Hope that answers your question! If there's something else you wonder about laundering, let me know!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-55673020965785060812010-06-13T08:03:12.548-04:002010-06-13T08:03:12.548-04:00i just want know washing cycle of bath linen.

More yarn is ALWAYS a good solution! ;-)<br />Do you have a copy of Davison's book? I find myself mining that for most of my 4 shaft twills.I sure wish she had done an 8 shaft book.<br />Can you stretch the yarn by doing borders of another color or stripes through the warp in similar colors?<br />I'm sure you've thought of that all ready.<br />Well, carry on! I am so jazzed to see those in progress.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-48147594646973143752010-02-19T02:27:31.084-05:002010-02-19T02:27:31.084-05:00The colors are great! more yarn is always a soluti...The colors are great! more yarn is always a solution for us weavers. I read you are weaving on a Toika loom, I am offered a toika liisa for only 100 euro! but it it a bit big in my living room, it has 8 shafts and 10 threadles. What should I do?? I have a leclerc artistat right now 4 shafts. Does a Toika threadle light? or not? can you tell me some more? the loom I can buy is already in pieces so I can't try it out.Gjeanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498272411456835608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-68902249714199650412010-02-19T00:48:16.809-05:002010-02-19T00:48:16.809-05:00The blue colours look wonderful and yout solution ...The blue colours look wonderful and yout solution 'more yarn' is the best one :) At least that is what I think.<br />Good luck with the weaving (as I am a relative how do you do your selveges?Marion B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15587172713661489822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-87221895940480816322010-02-18T23:27:14.622-05:002010-02-18T23:27:14.622-05:00A woman after my own heart, more yarn!
