wool


Question Posted Sunday December 14 2003, 9:42 pm

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?

ok, to tell you the truth, i have never really tried to blow dry my shirts with a hair dryer, but just in case, don't try it. maybe just wash your clothes a couple days before you wear them. hope this helpes!

best of luck,
adviceprincess

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll shrink. Oh....and don't wash coloreds and whites together. Sheesh!

As much as a fast way would be loved I hate to say but I wouldn’t push your luck... Do it the long way and wear something else...

After you wash them, roll them up in towels and sort of... squish the water out, until they're not so wet. Then you lay them out to dry... they dry a lot faster that way.

If you are having such a hard time washing your wool dont buy it! DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE WASH EITHER!!! You must let the air from outside dry them. Hang it up and let it blow for maybe 5 hours or so.

Heat + wet wool = trouble!

I'd suggest wearing something else tonight/tomorrow and drying them the proper way.

koshii answered Sunday December 14 2003, 10:07 pm:
I think you really should be careful, because whatever shape wool dries in, that's how it stays. 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.
