Wool and silk Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand programmes of the machine are at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, you can press out the water instead using terry towelling.

Try using less detergent, and increase the dose only if you are displeased with the washing re- sults. TEXTILE DYEING If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select Normal with the Super rinse option, Choose a temperature according to recom- mendations from the dye maker.
