When the directions for knitting the 4th Doctor’s scarf were posted, I mentioned in a post that I had the one my mom made for me ~40 years ago.

I said it had never been washed and it needed to be.

I finally did it. Cold water in the laundry room sink, a little bit of woolite, and some swishing. A couple of rinses, and some gentle squeezing to get as much water as I could out.

The tricky part, of course, was laying it out flat to air dry.

    My mom made me a Dr. Who scarf 40 years ago! Are you me?

      God I hope you’re not me! I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!

    How long is your scarf? It’s difficult enough to find the 10-12’ space for a standard length scarf, but I know that Dr. Who scarves are considerably longer.
