    It seems you could do this with a front loader on gentle, or set short times for running.

    You have to be VERY careful... If it agitates too much, the wool will get fuzzy.

    Kelly uses our Meile machine to do mine, but it has some kind of setting where the drum fills a little with water, then rotates 180 degrees every minute, then sits, then rotates again. This allows for the same kind of motion as doing it by hand yourself.

    Again, don't risk it unless you're 100% sure of what you're doing. I don't want to be the cause of a ruined kilt.

    My brother's has a similar setting. Which is why I mentioned it.

    I figured as much. I just didn't want someone to read "front loaders are OK" and throw their kilt in.

    Geoff is right. DO NOT dry clean PV. What Antonio is asking about is a WOOL kilt.
