Somewhere in my house is a lingerie washing bag (if I ever used it, I would know where it was)that I will try to dump the next batch of cheese cloth in. That will probably work.<BR/>Your fabrics came out lovely.Sherrylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150666108526689819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214908672999164499.post-82983719348692760572008-06-03T09:24:00.000-04:002008-06-03T09:24:00.000-04:00THE BETTER WAY: Buy some little lingere mesh bags ...THE BETTER WAY: Buy some little lingere mesh bags and put the cheesecloth in them when you wash it. The cheesecloth will get a few tangles, but not to the degree you experienced. I bought my lingerie bags at a Dollar Tree store in a package of 3 for $1 - they work great. If you are fearful of them coming unzipped, just run a safety pin thru the hole in the zipper pull and a bit of the mesh and they are secure. The bags work great for washing out dyed yarn in loose skeins, as well.---nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566749933683534303noreply@blogger.com
