I wrap wool yarn, hose, even kilts in something cotton and non stretching and spin dry them. The spinner is a separate item, not a washing machine on spin and is useful when dyeing yarn.

Our washing machines in the UK are just about all front loaders, with horisontal drums, but the spinner has a vertical drum.

It will take out lots of water from a kilt, but I do not overdo the spinning. As soon as the flow of water starts to breaks into drops I stop it.

I keep old pillow cases and bits of sheet for wrapping things for spinning. It minimises the effect on folds and edges. Drying times are reduced considerably.
