How to Prevent shrinking—don’t ask me! #cashmere #clothes #shopping #sweater
Wash clothes inside out, put in washer with vinegar, then spin on med not high then lay flat on towel over a rack
🤣 Same here! 🤣
I put nothing in the dryer. Just a couple of minutes to get the wrinkles out, then line dried. No shrinking. People think it is hot water, it is the dryer that is the culprit. Sheets and towels go in the dryer safely.
Hand wash cashmere or use a “hand wash gentle” cycle if your machine has it. Use cool water with a mild detergent like Woolite, dry flat. They make mesh drying racks that fit over tub that work great. Never dry in dryer.
Lay flat to dry.
Should take your sweater out of the washer machine and lay it on a big towel and shape it out and kind of stretch it sides ways and down wards that’s what I do with my sweaters and my husbands.
I have a little self charge gadget that removes these little balls. You run it over your item and it gently removes them- at least until the next wash.
Try soaking the sweater in a flat tray in downy and water. It’s supposed to regain its shape. Google it!
I know ow..wash clothes..use fabric softener..dont dry but dry flat
Oops! I hate pilly!
Happens to us all . Lol
You washed and dried cashmere, oh my! Did you consider dry cleaning? I don’t think I could wear the new trend of pilled sweaters. People won’t know if you’re wearing an old pilled sweater or a new expensive sweater.
I wash mine in luke warm water, in a mesh bag on delicate, that helps for no pills, then I dry it on just air & when it's barley damp lay it flat , it dries quickly, Don't you hate when that happens!, & it's always one of my favorite
Hi, we've all done that. Dr Lori, I don't buy sweaters because they always, pil, shrink, stretch out. They say dry flat. Who wants to look at that for days? Some are very pretty but I've learned the hard way. Not cheap, they look cruddy after a few washes. 🙁
I wash a large wool sweater! It now is an infant small 🤣😂
Yes, but you are shrinking too
Dr. Lori, how to justify a new sweater purchase, shrink it, oh no, I need a new sweater. 🤣
I shrAnk it. 🤗
I never dryer my sweaters always dry flat or hang mine.
Good job Dr. Lori.
Sorry to hear that. 😒
Your sweater is kinda small... it happens sometimes nice color..it is crazy 🤪
I've always heard vinegar soak stops shrinking and it softens too
😬 oops
I've shrunk sweaters so bad they could fit a toddler when I was done.
Sharing this and praying for Nancy Guthrie's safe return. We must protect our elders. I can't imagine how her family feels. Devastat#NBCnews. #NBC
I can't imagine this! I pray for Savannah's mother's return 🙏🏻
❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
So sorry for this news prayers for all
🙏🙏🙏🙏
No matter what Phil the famous rodent sees today in Pennsylvania, it’s winter!! Freezing cold and snowy. Stay warm. #weather #groundhog #snow #um #psu
Some rodents taste good.
The older I get the longer the winters seems to be.
I don't like this rodent.
6 weeks of winter either way..I wish spring were already here! Have a great day))
Watched the announcement on tv. It is -5 here just north of Pittsburgh.
Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. 6 more weeks of winter 🙌. Like that is a surprise. We would have at least 6 more weeks of winter whether he saw his shadow or not. 🤣🙃❤️
The rodent has spoken: 6 more weeks of winter!
You are right! It is freezing and I am ready to be done!

Pearls got alot of attention yesterday on tv. Did you watch my vid where I show you how to spot the fakes? #jewelry
Oh man I missed it. Been wanting to find somebody to look at 2 loose pearls that I have. Any ideas on where I can take them local to the area I'm in butler.
Do pearls tap like glass?
Real pearls genuine pearls are gritty when you rub them across your teeth fake pearls just slide 😘 that's what I told my jeweler
And from your videos about teaching pearls.
Rub it on what tooth ya might have or bang it on glass, I’m I right?
Pearls are forever in style. You look marvelous
I need to see this about the pearls!!

Love, love your shows … you have answered so many questions about items I’ve owned for many years… I have coins, an old violin… is there someone like you who comments on those items? 🥰
I got two right today. I'm proud of myself! Especially since I don't know much about baseball 🙄😒😕😑
I love watching you on PTL.
You never answered heather this morning. How many inches of snow did you get?
I enjoy Dr Lori so much. I know nothing about antiques, but she is wonderful at telling us what to look for and about the times and histories of the objects. She is also good at showing us that she is still a down-to-earth person who could still be a little girl who plays with paper dolls or go outside and play in the mud! She is amazing and I love her!! ❤️
Heather won again. Yippee. She was on the mark yesterday. I love it even you are on their show. 😀❤️
