One tip, especially for linen - take your yardage and zigzag the two raw
edges together, into a loop, before you wash it. It's the quickest,
simplest way to make sure you don't come out with a spaghetti bundle of
frayed threads.

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
