Anyone know how I can keep my knit tops from shrinking in the clothes dryer. They seem to draw up. My husband usually hangs them up to dry because he says its the dryer that shrinks them. But that get them out of shape.
Knit tops should not go in the dryer , because of shrinkage .
You should lay them on a flat service and let them dry like that .
That is what i do and I never have a problem and they keep there shape .
If you put them in the dryer, you can try putting them on cool and less dry - start with the dryer then finish with hanging them. Hangers come in different sizes so maybe trying finding a few larger ones for the knits so the shoulders don’t have marks.
Hang dry whatever you don’t want shrunked or loosing color.
For some reason dryers cause clothes to fade and shrink…cause of the chemicals that interact while being heated.
Like i said, just hang dry. Most effective way of drying.

you should lay them flat on top of the dryer while it is running with your other clothes.. The heat from the dryer will help to dry them..
take them to the cleaners
