I will wash of, no matter the size, but my question is how to wash it with out all the unraveling and threads. It sure knots up and winds it around each other. Is there a better way of doing it? Yah....all this fabric and I didn't buy it. I don't need more fabrics, but this is a bonus as I always needs solids for fillers.
