Just recieved my pullover shirt and vest from Teresa Asbell! Super product :notworthy: Can't wait for the weather to turn colder so I can get in the woods with them :campfire:
yes, indeed... very nice & a good price
Tailor made and an excellent price, I love mine!!! and I am anxious to use it these hunting season
I forgot to ask Teresa about care of her wool. Can they just be tossed in the washer? :confused:
QuoteCan they just be tossed in the washer?
Absolutely,.... especially if you have small children that can wear them afterward.... :D
No, :nono: Washer agitators will shrink wool. It's best to hand wash and hang dry....
Ron , should a person order them a size or two larger because of the shrinkage even when hand washing??

That's what Mrs. Asbell told me as well cept she told me to lay it flat to dry & to only use cold water with the detergent.
I have had one for two years and it still looks great,even after washing a few times.......I have a lot of wool and usually wash each a time or two every season. I use a large tote bin, fill half full with cold water,add detergent(woolite or now I use "sensitive" detergent-no scents,dyes or UV brightners),add the wool,stir gently and let it soak an hour or so, then dump water,add more cold,stir gently...repeat 2 or three times,LIGHTLY squeese extra water out then hang or lay flat on drying rack.

Yes,... use Woolite or a "mild" detergent.. :readit: ...or dry clean
Ask yourself 'why wash' :dunno: - you can hang it outside to air it out. Mine has gotta' really get dirty to be washed. Odors don't stay-at least not in my case :) , a little baking soda helps too, I have wool that has not been washed in years.
