Hello all - I have woven a number of scarves in 8/2 bamboo but am concerned that the tassels look rather 'scraggy' at the ends and wonder how they will withstand repeated washing over the lifetime of the scarf. When I drain the water from the basin in which I have wet- finished the scarves, I can see quite a lot of bits of bamboo fibres that have been shed during the washing process and collected in the sieve covering the plug hole and the ends of the tassels look a bit of a mess. I presume there is nothing much to be done about this but thought I'd check to see if any of you can offer advice. Also, I wove the 8/2 bamboo at 20 epi, but now am not entirely happy with the drape of the scarves....I think they may be what Jane refers to as a bit 'sleazy'....could I overcome this by washing them again at a higher temperature I wonder, and hopefully shrinking them a bit? What's the hottest anyone has washed bamboo at I would be interested to know? Thanks.
