Hi, what can mean this word "tovæ", it does not appear in the dictionary, it may
be an informal writted word used talking about washing wool.

"Tove" is the right spelling. From Bokmålsordboka:

"tove	I tove m1 floke, vase
 	II tove v1 floke til, filtre håret t-t seg / t- votter gjøre votter tette og
faste ved å behandle dem slik at fibrene filtrer seg sammen."

If it is about washing wool it can happen when you use too hot water. The wool
will shrink and curl so it may destroy your clothes. However, this technique is
also used for making felt or fleece.
