i would make a note on how to wash them. it can be up to them if they want to follow those instructions or not.

my brother in law is in the army. he said there is lots of downtime over there and boredom sets in, so i know they have the time to do it. you'd be suprised...i'm sure they'd wash it nicely.

wool yarn with 'superwash' on the label can be machine washed and dried.

I bought my wool yarn at JoAnn's to make the helmet liners and they were machine washable. I made them in men's and women's sizes and they really loved them as it was quite cold in Kosovo over the winter. Another good item is fingerless gloves. Their office wasn't very well heated and I made quite a few of these (in camo of course) and again made them in men's and women's sizes and told my son to hand them out as he saw fit.

 

My suggestion is to try your best to make stuff out of washable yarns. I even modified the neck cooler pattern to be 2 pieces (inside tube with crystals and outside cover) so it could be washed. Good luck! ~ Deb
