Washing project with metallic

[mag327]

I am sure this has been asked before, but my quick search using the search function didnt find anything.

I used DMC metallics in a project. The project is finished and I wanted to wash and then iron it, but I'm worried about the metallics. Would the metallics wash ok? Has anyone tried it??

I may have to skip washing it and use a spray bottle of water and something to iron out the wrinkles and not fully wash it.

Thoughts from then experts??

I've hand washed projects done with metallics before and had no problems. I let it air dry until mostly dry and then iron from the back.

I use lots of metallics in my stitching and unfortunately that means DMC as well. All of my projects get washed and I just throw them in the wash machine on a gentle cycle. I then hang them on the clothes line and iron when the project is just a very tiny bit damp. I have never had trouble with any of my threads and that includes the metallic thread.
