Hi Mirjam,
I hope you are well, and enjoying nice weather. I have a bit of a problem
and thought if anyone I know could help me solve it, it would be you.
A couple of weeks ago it was quite chilly here and I recalled a shawl my
mother had knitted for me about twenty years ago. I wasn't sure if I still
had it, but I do!
Anyway, when I brought it down from the top of the cupboard it was hard to
unfold because the fibers seemed to be sticking to one another. I washed
it, then re-washed it with some baking soda in the water. It's still
sticking to itself.
Have you ever heard of this? Do you have any idea how I can restore the
shawl. It's really lovely and I would love to be able to use it, again.
Thanks,
Murielle

I'm not Mirjam, but I have a couple of suggestions. You might try
either hair conditioner or fabric softener. Personally, I would try the
conditioner first, but it is your shawl.

It is pretty dry. Especially after two washes in the machine and once in
the dryer.
I'm flummoxed.

Can you use a spray bottle of water and ? and slowly pull it apart and
leave it flat? I wouldn't put it in the dryer.
