Washing roving dreads?
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 10:05 am
I want to re-use the dreads off my scottish-flag-themed fall set but they still smell of barbecue smoke (tsk) so some questions...
Is it safe to wash them in the machine, on delicate/wool cycle? (in pillowcases, I imagine I'd make a big many-tentacled monster if I put them in loose)
Can I use ordinary washing powder or should I get wool-specific?
Will they go mental and stick together?
Will they kink up? (not that I'd mind really, they're poker-straight atm)
What's the maximum number I should put in together per pillowcase?
(apologies if I've missed this info somewhere)
