Hi Anette,
When i made my shirt in the fine linnen, i machine washed it before and used
a high temperature. Then the linnen will shrink nicely and the shirt will
never shrink any more.
Because i have edged the shirt with fine cotton laces, i only handwash it
now, but it works fine to pre wash the fabric.

Subject: [h-cost] abuse of fabrics (aka care and washing) question
Can someone point me in the right direction for info/resources on best
washing methods fof various natural fabrics, especially linen and wool. I
know that many of my off the rack 'modern' clothes specify dry cleaning,
but if I were to wash my linen and wool yardage first (cool water of
course), would that make the finished garment washable by the same method
as well without too much risk of shrinkage? It would be so much simpler.
Thanks,
Annette M
