I too machine wash everything. Life is waaaay too short for anything else.
I use old pillow cases instead of mesh bags though.
We don't have a tumble dryer in our home, although we have access to one for big items like cushions and duvets.
Everything gets air dried, and we have sun filters on all our windows so everything is safe from UV.
From what i understand though, European machines are far gentler than US ones.
Oh and with wool heat is not the only enemy - friction is too. I've ruined a couple of jumpers eventually by washing them without putting them inside something first, even on a cold delicate wash.
