Not sure if they are treated, but I have a lot of Irish knit sweaters, and even though they say Dry Clean Only, I do wash some of them. I haven't washed the ones with more than one color, but the others I do, and dry flat or drape carefully on a drying rack. They come out beautifully.

I just wore my sweater to Busch Gardens on a cold day here in Tampa. It looked like it grew on me and decided to wash because I have washed other Irish sweaters and it shrunk to nothing. I was very upset because I love this sweater. The sweater was A231153, Scalloped Cardigan. Boy!! this was a rude awaking for me. Lost money and a lesson learned. Be careful!! Luckily, I had two colors in this sweater and trust me, it will be going to the cleaners.

On 3/17/2015 Tampa Lady said:The question is HOW did you wash it? I read years ago it is the agitation that shrinks them. So fill the washer and add deterg. Agitate a couple min, drain and rinse the same way and regular spin. I have the very same sweater, no problems!I just wore my sweater to Busch Gardens on a cold day here in Tampa.

I have a front load washer and washed like I did all of my other Irish sweaters that did not shrink.

A263769- Aran Craft Merino Wool Zip Front Cape- so beautiful. I have noticed some very pretty designs this year. Very pretty colors. I am enjoying the St Patrick's Day shows. Ann, the model, looks so pretty in the Irish sweaters!!
