Had to wash my knits and woollen wovens, figured I might as well document the job for here!
I used my 0-superfat domestic soap, shaved into my wash water.

All laying out in the sun to dry on my last bit of grass! Glad hubs convinced me to keep it, I wouldn’t have been able to do it all at once if I’d converted it to garden bed like first planned

Temperature was freezing so I had to cook the water.
Rinsing with hot water would have taken too much cooking so I jus braved it and rinsed and wrung everything in ice cold water by hand.
After outside drying I had to take them inside for final drying.
