#SnowWashing Is Everywhere—Fabric Experts Explain When It Works and When It Doesn’t
From #rugs and #blankets to #sweaters, this old-world laundry trick can refresh fabrics without water or detergent. Experts break down how to reap the benefits—and when to skip it.
By Terri Robertson, Published: Jan 30, 2026
"I can barely scroll TikTok or Instagram these days without coming across a post about the latest laundry trend—snow washing, or #snötvätt in Swedish. This traditional cleaning method is sort of like taking your #wool clothing, blankets, and rugs to #MotherNature’s #DryCleaner.
"It’s free, completely natural, and nothing new to those who live in Nordic countries. Many knitters are hip to the process too. But everyone else might be wondering, does this really work?
"Enter Fran Kozen and Larissa Shepherd, experts in fiber science and apparel design at #CornellUniversity who are demystifying the trend—and as it turns out, it’s a really good one."

The other thing I've been wasting time on this morning is looking at a replacement rug for our living room. We're having to change the furniture and the rug is very much past its best.
There's too much choice! -

From grid-like woven patterns to intertwined strands of fringe, Antonio Santín’s hyperrealistic oil paintings look incredibly similar to the ornamental carpets they’re modeled on.

My first scrap yarn crochet rug on the blocking board to even out the edges. Made with 5 strands of DK yarn and a 9mm hook, as one colour runs out, you attach another, crocheting over the ends as you go. This makes the gradual colour shifts. An absolute stashbuster, it's used up all my bright acrylic cheap yarn from charity shops and leftovers. Ended up about 1m square. I may edge it - see how well it blocks.

Back in 2019, when I started working on #textiles seriously for #Wikidata :wikidata:, I took a good hard look at #rugs and #carpets … and ran away. Five years on, I have more domain knowledge, better access to references, and more Wikidata tricks up my sleeve. So when the question of rug vs. carpet arose on Wikidata Telegram, I decided to jump back in and see what could be done. 1/2
