HOWEVER, i bet you could put in one of those dye magnets and wash it on warm, at least. i think it's the dryer that does most of the firming. okay, i'll shut up now. oops — just checked the pic. caveat: my sweater was navy with moss/fog trim. i think you’d be tempting fate if you washed yours in hot with that rich red!

I really want to try the Mission Falls cotton, I think I will after your recommendation. I'll have to check out the color of that chili -- oh no, an excuse to go back to the yarn shop! Hi again,

I was worried about the colors - I have some of both yarns left so I'm thinking I'll end up making a tiny swatch and let the washing machine do it's worst. I'll let you know how it turns out...
