Someone on Rav said their swatch shrunk up a bit but did not felt when they put it through machine wash and dry.Aliciahttp://woolendiversions.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596236638912320516.post-7810783456720331862013-08-15T11:55:11.288-05:002013-08-15T11:55:11.288-05:00It looks fabulous!

It's great in the Mecha!<br /><br />Quick warning, though: I don't think Mecha is superwash. Mecha is a slightly thinner version of their superbulky singles yarn, Rasta. Since both yarns are such thick singles, they've been partially felted to maintain their structure, but that does not mean that they won't felt further and it's a different process from what makes things superwash (chemical treatment). I think you'll want to handwash and air dry that vest.Aliciahttp://woolendiversions.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596236638912320516.post-71449429209365795312013-08-14T17:14:18.269-05:002013-08-14T17:14:18.269-05:00it looks fabulous!
