Wool wash mitt: hard like cardboard?

KITT

When my wool wash mitt is machine washed and dried, it gets hard like a piece of cardboard until I soak it again... Is this common?
 
As was mentioned, if you're referring to the leather inside, yes, it gets pretty stiff. If you're referring to the outside, no, it shouldn't be like that. If the outside is stiff, it probably isn't rinsed clean.
 
Yeah, the backing stiffens up, and sometimes the outer nap does too. As long as it softens up when it's immersed in wash solution I wouldn't worry about it. For peace of mind, you could try the CD test, but again, do it when the mitt's wet with shampoo mix, not dry.
