Avocado SQ set

Something Else....

....I had to wash for my late partner was compression stockings; the last two years of his life, he had very bad edema in his lower legs due to congestive heart failure.

Compression stockings are supposed to be hand wash or delicate wash; harsh washing methods ruin them.

His went into the A108 in a lingerie bag (zippered mesh bag for delicates), with lukewarm water (achieved by letting the machine fill halfway with cold, then came a switch to warm).

Never lost a single stocking.

Not Avocado, but Almond

Must be a poor camera taking the pix. But this pair is Almond for sure.

Thank you Malcolm, it didn't look like avocado to me either.

Woolite

Is a detergent. You want a shampoo for wool: It's far gentler to the fibers. A gentle soap or shampoo. I have a friend who makes her own soap from the plant "Boucing Bette" (Soapwort or Saponaria Officinalis) but she's always been a bit "extreme".

As far as wearing wool next to skin. It's not bad for the wool: Think of where it came from. Wool/mohair/cashmere is also more resistant to oils and dirt from the skin than say a plant fiber. If you wash it carefully in a gentle shampoo, there is no reason why you couldn't wash it more often. I wash my wool bicycling sweaters once to two times a week during the season. (I ONCE tried the gentle cycle on my Crosley/Norge and ended up with what became a felted hat and mitten set.) The admonition about body oils and dirt is that's what attracts the wool moths: You always wash sweaters before putting them away for the season.

It depends on the monitor...

At home they looked like a lousy pic of Avocado. Here at work I see the Almond, but in either case, not the best photo quality...

I wonder if the camera as well as our monitors, could be the culprit for the color confusion.  Could the magenta carry basket and mustard colored bucket over the dryer, "confuse" the camera or our monitors?  I see avocado, but still on the old laptop, the "good" PC is on "strike" again. alr
