Many wools are washable.

The main things to remember:

1) Avoid hot water
2) Avoid prolonged agitation

One can wash SOME of them on a short gentle cycle on warm or cold.

One can also damp dry them in a dryer. Some people are more comfortable line drying the fabrics or laying them flat to dry.

I have some used garments that I'm thinking about cutting up.
I think I will wash them like I wrote above - and see how they turn out.

If they turn out well - Yippee! If not, I didn't want to use them anyway.

If you do decide to wash these - do colors separately until the water runs clear.
