Knit articles All Knits Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching) Cotton knits especially may relax or draw

together ifevery bitof moisture is removed form them It is best to take them out of the dryer with atrace

of moisture remaining, then stretch to shape, If they do shrink from overdrying, rewet them and dry

properly•

Cottons AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing• Reshape,

smooth seams and pockets, etc.

Synthetic Fibers AUTOMATIC REGULAR orAUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS cycle•Turn insideout toprevent "pifling"

(nylon, orlon, (rolling upof the fiber ends fromfriction). Dry sweaters only with similar things because they tend to

polyester etc.) attract lint. Make sure the load is large enough for tumbling Dry completely and remove from dryer

immediately to minimize wrinkling•

Wool DELICATE orNO HEAT cycle. For wool labeled "machine washable" follow manufacturer's directions. For

other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dryer loosely knit wool orhand knits. Dry these flat and
