I have to agree. I too have a hand wash cycle & it is amazing. I use crappy thread for mending projects. I didn't know the difference when I first started buying thread so I have one jar of non-Aurifil thread. Don't plan to acquire any more so it should last me pretty much as long as I need mending thread.
