Your sister is right to laugh. Washing isn't going to work, alas. I remembe when in high school and college, the band uniforms were all wool. So here I am, in south Louisiana, in the heat, and having to put on long underwear to keep from itching to death. I had me a sweat bath!BlackSpinner wrote:It is very frustrating. I was at the local yarn shop 2 weeks ago and they had this lovely lace yarn in beautiful bright "fall" colours - it was only 17% wool (the rest was cotton, polyester and silk) but it itched like crazy and I kept reacting even after we left the shop, even my hands felt creepy while handling it. But the colours were so wonderful I said to my sister that maybe if I washed it... but she laughed at me.
