I know if I dry my wool sweaters they're shrink, but I don't have time to lay these things out to dry... can I just blow dry them? Will that shrink them just like a dryer would?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll shrink. Oh....and don't wash coloreds and whites together. Sheesh! [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]

You lay them flat to keep them from stretching all to hell and back on a hanger, and because they're a natural fiber, they react to heat like cotton and silk. I'd just wash them the night before you need them and lay them flat to dry like you should--or not wash them so often so you aren't caught sweaterless.
