I love my new iron. It has a heavy, but not too heavy, (a good weight) plate which is stainless steel. It has a sharp tip perfect for ironing the seams flat. It has an auto shutoff. And it flattens out the most wrinkled clothes. It’s a good tool, not expensive ($35) and it feels good in my hand. Did I already say I love my Shark?
I have a Shark, too, Maria, and love it so much. What a difference it has made in my work. have been through a lot of irons. Hoping this one will endure. Like the price, too!
Maria, I love your Shark too…but I also love the way you display your small treasures on your window sill. I do the same thing, I’m a collector of colorful bottles that I put in my windows. They are so cheerful on a cloudy/dreary winter day…and so beautiful when the sun shines on them. And, I’m envious of your new studio!
Something in common Leah!
We’ll spread the word Marcia.
I’d never heard of Shark until I saw the photo and read the comments. I’m in the market for a new iron – I’ll have to look for one! I like how it looks, too.
I have been thinking of replacing my 20+ yr old iron. I do a lot of ironing ( still) despite retailers saying few fabrics need ironing these days. My pillow cases and tea towels must be ironed, because that is how I enjoy them. And my husband’s shirts etc. I haven’t found a new iron that has the heft I require without being too heavy for my old arms, so thank you for the recommendation.
Best to you and Jon on your move. ( New) Bedlam Farm is really shaping up.
Oh Ginny, I can’t imagine ironing my pillow cases, but I think it’s impressive you do. And I bet they look great.
