The delicate cycle using cold water and Woolite has worked without problems on cashmere, merino, etc sweaters in my experience.

Shouldn't this entire thread be combined with the "dump hygiene" thread in Body Consciousness?

Mensimagecon, if you don't like washing your hands I'm staying away from you.

Washing clothes by hand is a waste of time

i like to hand wash my sweaters, certain articles of clothing, and even wool pants.

as long as you have easy access to a tub or wash basin and clean water, it is as meditative as polishing shoes or ironing shirts.

I have the maid hand wash the things that need it. Can't imagine myself doing it though.

i aint above it .

The washing machine I use is front loading without an agitator. I think it is gentle enough, especially on the gentle cycle with cold water. I usually wash "handwash only" items that way and dry flat or hang up (depending on item).

I don't think I've every washed a sweater, but I have washed some other delicate things using the Hand Wash cycle and it appears to have turned out just fine.

I am a cheap bastard and, as Sartorian said about himself, a "preservationist."
So I hand wash silk or wool socks, sweaters, hats, and scarves, (w/ shampoo and conditioner) as well as anything w/ stains on them (w/ various solvents).
Agree w/ shoe too about it being meditative.
