Woolen knitwear

Solvent milling has some importance for the treatment of fully fashioned woolen knitwear. The process is very similar to normal dry cleaning. The specific difference is the addition of water together with the detergent, in order to force an exact degree of shrinkage and/or felting. 

Sensitive woolen knitwear is treated mostly with the drum washing machine. The turning of the drum creates a continuous opening and compressing.
