And if you have a hand wash cycle on your machine, even better, but I have washed this for five children over nine years, and it is still in excellent condition: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Arabianknits/17-little-boy-blue" rel="nofollow">Little Boy Green</a>. I've also made several other projects recently, which get much more washing, one even goes through the dryer, and are still doing fine.Ranee @ Arabian Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236731154217065518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270195663879910204.post-67517445638766571652014-09-03T13:43:08.464-04:002014-09-03T13:43:08.464-04:00I have no suggestions for the yarn, but just wante...I have no suggestions for the yarn, but just wanted to say the photos of those gorgeous blankets really gave me the urge to knit.
