When I was weaving I would make a towel and then throw it in the washer with the hottest water, lots of soap and a color catcher made by Shout. I had a teacher who questioned my practices. I said: I'm going to sell this towel to someone who probably has a housekeeper who will throw it in the washer with the hottest water and then in a hot dryer. If something happens to the towel, they will demand their money back. I never want to see this towel again. Therefore I try to destroy it before they try. If I can't destroy it, then neither can they. And I want to know that it won't come back. Heavens knows I've already spent the money.
