Special Instructions
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.
REGULAR heat. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape, smooth seams and pockets, etc. This is especially important for blue
jeans and corduroys.
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 ninimize wrinkling.
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.
=urethe filling and covering are washable and can be dryer dried. Cotton filling may become lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie
toy into a pillowcase. Choose heat for most sensitive fiber. Dry enough clothes in the load for good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH FOAM RUBBER OR KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT.
