Just got done washing several loads of ropes in the washing machine. Thank jebus that the people who's place I'm ranch sitting for have alot of ceiling fans in their living room. I've got ropes strung all about in various stages of drying. Also washed some gloves and anchor straps and whatnot. It all came out pretty nicely. I love fluffy rope.

Ended up doin some of them for several cycles through on "gentle"... couldn't beleive the amount of crud in them. Dang pines have so much sap in them!
