Oh no! Sounds like the zipper definitely is the culprit, that's one of the reasons why I suggest a pillowcase with a tie... Nothing to snap the fibers. I wouldn't even use a net bag, try the pillowcase. I think the netting might rub the sweater in spots creating tension on the fibers. Cashmere is wool but it is more delicate. Good luck on your next sweater washing. Thanks for commenting, it's good for others to know what not to do!

Thank you! I hope you'll join me!

Hi Michelle, Thank you for this comment... Your "balancing" act seems to be one that we all struggle with daily. It's hard to do the mundane tasks when the sun is shining! I am so glad this article is urging you to do the fun stuff that needs to be done now. The laundry can wait! ;)

You are so welcome, and thank you for your comment. It's great to get feedback. I, too, hope it helps spread kindness around like confetti!!

Thanks so much! That's what I like to hear. Always working on new articles :)

Absolutely! Good guidelines to follow, thanks!

HI Joyce! Sorry for the delay, somehow I missed this comment. Glad to read it and your experience. Thank you for sharing -- I can't remember if I knew that would happen and that is why I put it as a "filling" of coconut. BUT either way, this is a good reminder. I will update the article, too. Thanks again! Have a wonderful summer of tasty treats and sunshine. :)

Hi Lynn, Oh, I hope so, too. I get the phone thing for kids but boundaries of usage are key. Like all things, I guess it's balance. Thank you sharing!

Thank you. So many uses for this fabulous resource!

Thank you! I am so glad - timing is everything even with underwear that is fun to wear!! ;) Have a fabulous time, and enjoy the sun and sundresses!

Thank you, Michelle... Yes, this process really opened my eyes. I hope, too, that sharing my experience will help others put things into perspective to make their lives better, brighter, and easier!

Thank you, Lynn! So true. Remembering this makes every day more special. :)
