Thanks, Robert. We don’t have anybody (that I know of) particularly close by, but that would certainly be the best way to go if we can come up with the money.

 

 

I would suggest contacting a textile conservator in your area.  If you go to www.conservation-us.org  AIC has a service where you can find one in your area.

 

Sincerely,

I have a navy-blue wool letter sweater that feels like it’s full of gritty dirt. My first impulse it to wash it (hand wash in cold water and Orvus paste), but I’m a little concerned that the blue might run and stain the gold edging on the letter. The sweater is well used, but may have only been dry-cleaned before we got it. Any advice?
