baptism of fiber posted:Does anyone know if enzyme washing can be done at home? A while back I visited a clothing store that bought up tacky t-shirts from thrift stores and washed them in some enzyme that made them super soft and thin. I'd like to try this process on some surplus clothing with the goal of 1) fading the camoflage pattern somewhat, 2) making the material feel softer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This. I've wanted to do this forever to some shirts and jeans. I remember seeing a DIY denim fishing kit by Denim Design Lab (http://www.denimdesignlab.com/product/finishing-kits/mechanic/) which has a bottle of enzyme solution in it for  $300. There's got to be a cheaper way.

RedFish posted:Thanks for the replies, good to know. I've since gone quilt fabric groping, and I see what you mean. I haven't actually worked with bamboo fabric yet but from what I've heard, it has a tendency to lose its shape. I have a set of bed sheets that haven't had that problem, but maybe its because they aren't exposed to excessive wear like a shirt or bag would be.
