Having foolishly taken the panels advice, I put my manky sheets and halyards into the washing machine at the coolest and delicate wash with some fabric conditioner. I did them one at a time in an old duvet cover.
Unfortunately, half of them have come out with various places where the inner rope has come through the braiding. I thought it might be that the braiding and core had expanded/shrunk at different rates, but in each case they were OK at each end.
While I have bought replacements, my stingy inner self refuses to throw the old ones away. Is there a way to repair these ropes?
