    New Knitting Project? Dingy, Old Yarn? Needs A Wash? Here's How.....

    Like all serious knitters, I built up an obscene yarn stash over the years. I donated alot to a local senior center but I did keep some ‘basics’, whites, off whites, etc… in cotton and wool. Unfortunately, the years had really taken their toll on the yarn; they had really yellowed and there were some rusty looking spots in them. So I washed it and I am thrilled with the results. I kept one hank unwashed to compare the difference. It really was significant.
