It’s really warm and dry today so I guess it’s scarf washing and lace reblocking day.
Here’s why it’s a good idea to always gently re-block your lace shawls after washing:

Lace loses its definition after some time, the stitches pull close and the whole shawl basically shrinks a bit and distorts. Washing and blocking will open up the stitches again and you can pull them back into the shape they’re supposed to have. I found that washing my lace about once a year is enough, as the shawls don’t really get dirty with wear, and fewer washes are better when it comes to handspun yarn.
There always be room in my closet for another cashmere sweater #cashmere #sweaterweater #knitwear #handknitting #knitstagram #cables #topdown #knitting
