Does anyone else find ironing hankies therapeutic?

Hi all

I know it's a crazy thing to admit but I find ironing hankies quite relaxing and therapeutic.

That's handy actually as I use them all the time and so always have a few to iron.

I can't stand using an unironed handkerchief to me they just look scruffy.

I do wish there were more sightings of people using hankies though, it's so rare these days.

Cheers

I iron my hankies! There's nothing quite so luxurious as having a good blow into a freshly ironed and still warm hanky.

I generally dislike ironing, but I do love ironing my hankies! All my cotton ones obviously need it, but my flannel hankies come out of the dryer looking good.

Oh yes, I do find ironing hankies therapeutic!

For me, there's a big part of that process that's centred on the satisfaction of renewing and restoring: when sneezed or blown into, a pristine handkerchief gets 'ruined'. However, through washing and ironing, it's entirely possible to get that handkerchief back to a state of perfection ... if only everything else in life was so easy to fix! Within this, and again it's an entirely personal take, ironing a handkerchief that I see as especially beautiful is additionally fulfilling (have to be careful not to damage any lace with the tip of the iron, though!)
