Yes, i washed them by hand. In hot soapy water. I let them soak for 5 minutes as i'd read somewhere. Then squeezed them a few times and rinsed well. I don't want to put them in the machine.
Oh!! Thank you for saying so. I think that's immensely brave and wonderful. Poetry can offer so much, say so much. Thank you for being open enough to try it and to say so!!!
i was impressed too ... even with no filter there are 3 layers of cotton. I've washed ours and they wash up nicely. i hung them to dry indoors and have out in the sun and they keep their shape etc. They were worth buying and worth the wait.
It can be very hard to see it. Then we need to try and summon even the smallest hint of faith that the rose remains.
Thank you for your thoughts and comments, Fae.
As I look again into my abyss, I wonder
It is a question with no answer I can find
I seek resolution from the depths I plunder
By laying waste to the ruins of my mind
I am not the first nor last to query thus
And I fear all this is just a waste of time
They tell me stop; its not worth the fuss
Yet the search continues in spite of the climb
There are no reasons for being to be found
We are born and then it seems, wait to die
