Where did this come from?

As you probably know by now that I like to do laundry. You could almost say that I’m a Laundry Connoisseur.  (OK, maybe not) But if I’m stressed, bored, or if the house is too quiet I like to get the old washing machine going. But I was totally amazed tonight when I was standing in front of the washer. I saw something that I don’t think I ever saw before. I saw that I have a ‘Wool’ setting on the machine. Now maybe my brain did see it and I never really cared before –  but it’s time to give this a setting a shot. So I grabbed a wool winter coat that I have and decided instead of taking it to the dry cleaners (the tag in the coat said it was my only option!), I thought let’s try this out. So into the machine it went along with some soap and a prayer. To be honest if this coat came out like 3 sizes too small I was even OK with that. I’ve got enough around the place that I could spare one or two. When the little chime went off and said that the load was done, I reached in and pulled out my coat. Guess what? It looked like it was going to be OK. Maybe a little fresher than it was before it went in but it didn’t look like it shrunk at all. Whooo Hooo!! I’ve got to find me another wool coat to wash!
