I've just bought a really nice and cosy red jumper to keep me warm now it's absolutely freezing cold outside. The problem is, it's one of these ridiculously fluffy ones where the red fluff comes off on to everything I come into contact with - I actually had to hoover my coat yesterday to remove the fluff from it.
What's the best way to wash it? On the label it's just a normal woollen wash, but I'm worried that all the fluff will come off in my washing machine and atach itself to the next load of washing I do.
Any ideas?

you could try washing it in a pillow case with a knot tied in the top of it to capture all the fluff?

What ever you do DONT tumble dry it! You will be picking fluff off of everything for the next year! (plus the fact it will only fit a toy doll after its been through!)
Wash it in a mild was 40 degrees approx and hang it to dry on a clothes horse/radiator.

Follow the label and make sure you wash it by itself. It might be an Idea to check the filter after you have washed it.

You're apt to clog the filters of your washing machine, so in your shoes ... I'd handwash the jumper and not risk having to ring a technican to repair the machine.

If it were me I'd hand wash it and then put it in the machine on it's own for a gentle spin. That sort of material shouldn't take long to dry if you hang it somewhere afterwards.

Hi dont know if this will help or not, however i was always told that if you pop them in a bag and then pop them into the freezer it stops them shedding....... Then just wash on a handwash cycle.
