FLAK - washing swatch, yarn

So, I just washed my second swatch. I also unwound a large hank of the donegal tweed off the cone with the help of my switft and washed that too. Here's a picture of the hank before washing. I will post a picture of it and the second swatch after they dry, probably tomorrow or Friday. Then I will start knitting the sweater, beginning with the saddles, using the washed yarn if it looks good, which I think it will!
