Type of Load
Special Instructions
Knit Articles Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits
especially may relax or draw together if every bit of moisture is removed from
them. It is best to take them out of the dryer with a trace of moisture remaining,
then stretch to shape. If they do shrink from overdrying, rewet them and dry
properly.
Cotton and Denims REGULAR heat. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape, smooth
seams and pockets, etc. This is especially important for blue
jeans and corduroys.
Synthetic Fibers REGULAR or PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS heat. Turn inside out to prevent
“pilling” (the rolling up of the fiber ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with
similar things because they tend to attract lint. Make sure the load is large
enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to
minimize wrinkling.
Wool DELICATE heat. For wool labeled “machine washable”, follow
manufacturer’s directions. Do not dryer dry loosely knit wool or hand knits.
Dry these flat and stretch to shape from a pattern drawn before washing.
