I've been fulling recycled sweaters in the front loader for several
months. Some things felt easily, some things are more resistant. If
you are working with materials you KNOW will full easily, you will
probably have no problem. I did use 2 pairs of jeans per load, and
sometimes a tennis ball.

OTOH, I mistakenly thought my Enid sweater was superwash, and put it
in the already-gentle front loader on the cold, delicate cycle, and
that thing shrank small enough to fit a 3 year old. Oh, well. I
never was really happy with it in the first place.
