Handwashing takes ages. And a lot of water. Wow.
Also, mohair holds a lot of water.
However, a bunch of stuff which was in a bag awaiting Being Dealt With Eventually has been dealt with. There are only two skirts and a pair of trousers left (wool with polyester lining, and silk) and they need to be dry-cleaned, apparently.
I have some lovely clothes from my gainful-employment days. They are rather higher-maintenance than what I got more recently.
