Directions for Washing Articles Made from Worsted Yarns
Reading edition
Washing: Prepare a suds, not too strong, by shaving Wool Soap into very hot water, not boiling; add a few drops of ammonia and a pinch of borax.
Allow the garment to stand in the suds for a few minutes, then move it gently back and forth through the suds until clean. Do not rub soap on the article and do not rub it with the hands.
Rinsing and Drying: Wring the garment lightly with the hands, and rinse in clear warm water, moving it back and forth as in the suds. Repeat the rinsing in a second clear warm water; then wring the garment lightly with the hands, shake slightly and dry quickly in the open air, being careful not to stretch it.

Knitters are advised to purchase at one time enough yarn to complete the work, in order to insure absolute uniformity of shade.
