As a teenage kippah crocheter, I used to wash them in the sink with lukewarm water, woolite and a toothbrush, and then stretch them out several times during the drying process.

I don't believe so.... isn't woolite just the gentle fabric detergent? In actuality, I'm pretty sure any regular laundry soap would be just fine. I probably just used woolite because that was what we kept by the bathroom sink for handwashing....

Aderabba, woolite is meant for cold-water washing "all fine washables", whatever that means. I'm not at all persuaded that woolite works any better than dishwashing liquid but OK. Cotton is not a fussy fiber, and plain ivory soap, dishwashing liquid, woolite or shampoo will all work. Shampoo may in fact be better because it's meant to dissolve scalp oils, which is what that kippah is full of.
Scrub really dirty parts with a toothbrush or nail brush, rinse, squeeze out the water, roll in a towel to squeeze out some more. Stretch to shape on a wig form (best), your head (only if you're home all day) or a cereal bowl, and let air dry. If it still looks wrinkled when dry, you haven't stretched it enough, but no fear. You can press it with a steam iron. On the wrong side in case the iron's too hot. But it's cotton, which takes a hot iron, anyway.

Been there, done that. They just don't get clean. Not ours anyway. Esp. not the white ones.
