Quick: Can I wash all my different colored wool together?

[AngelaVA]

Usually I wash my longies and soakers one at a time but they are all looking kinda grubby. Can I put several pairs in the sink together or will the darker ones discolor the lighter ones?

does the color usually bleed when you are washing them?

I always notice the water is slightly colored with all of my wool when I wash, yes.

Weird! I'd probably wash them seperately then, or start with the lightest colors and go to the darker ones using the same water =)

Do yours not do this? I have lots of different wool from lots of different sources some of it very used and they all give off a bit of color when washed.

Mine's all recycled felted sweaters. They don't bleed at all =) I don't have any of the cool ones :lol

I have 2 soakers and 2 longies from recycled sweaters and they all bleed :think I wonder what I am doing wrong.

That is ponderworthy...someone else should weigh in with their experiences!
