Since this is 100% cotton, can it go in the dryer? Any shrinkage noticed by anyone?

We washed and dried it before putting it on our queen-sized down comforter...no noticeable issues with shrinkage or fading.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

I have dried mine on low heat and it does not shrink; however, I think letting it air dryer will make it last longer. I used to use the dryer but now I just air dry mine. I love this sheet!

Yes, it's 100% cotton. I hang it to dry because I don't want the painted circles to shrink but it's probably not necessary. It has a nice factory finish so was more resistant to grease before washing. So once washed, you have to keep washing it. But I expect this to remain my favorite cloth for many years, and that means it has to be easy to clean. I just throw it in with the whites, making sure it's not folded.

Virginia, I dried it in the dryer only until it was slightly damp, then let it hang until completely dry. I noticed very little, if any, shrinkage. It seemed to have a bit of a twist but ithat didn't affect the usability. It's a delightful fabric to work and produced exactly what I was hoping for. I've bought it multiple times. If you have a stretch stitch (straight or otherwise), I highly recommend using it.

I've washed it several times, dried in low heat and hung it up to finish. After taking out of the wash, I did physically stretch it out some to make sure it didn't shrink in the dryer anyway. Been holding up well. Bought it for my son, he wears it everywhere ! Very happy so far w/ the durability.

It is a very nice, heavy cotton shower curtain, but yes, it shrinks a LOT. Ours accidentally got run through the dryer by an overzealous cleaning helper, and it shrank so much that it barely hangs down below the top of the tub. Wish the company would pre-shrink their material before sewing into curtains because it is otherwise lovely.

It says that it is in the description. It shrinks like crazy after you wash and dry. Maybe it wouldn't shrink if you air dried but who has time for that?

I have washed it twice. No shrinkage...BUT...I used cold water and low temp setting on dryer. Just so you know!

It is 100% unshrunk cotton. IT WILL SHRINK. How much depends of how it is washed and dried. Cold wash + hang dry = minimum shrinkage. Hot wash + hot dryer = max shrinkage. I bought a Size 0 expecting it to shrink. It started off slightly too big, and now it is too small. It shrank ~4" in the pant leg and ~4" sleeve length after hot wash and hot dryer. If planning to shrink it, definitely start incrementally.

I honestly don't know but I wouldn't risk it. It's veryy plush and filled with super soft cotton, I wouldn't want to risk it coming out of the washer/dryer deformed.

Mine has ended up in the dryer and has come out just fine. I never thought of using it for that! Great idea!

Kim ~ I have always thrown mine in the washing machine with clorox.It does not lose it's shape or shrink; however, I do not put mine in the dryer.I have probably washed mine 20 times without any problems.

All I can tell you is that it will shrink a full size and that's not using the dryer...

Of course you can it's cotton. As you know washing in hot water and drying on hot will shrink Cotton.

When purchasing anything that is cotton ALWAYS order larger....cotton will shrink every time you wash and dry it...does not matter if they claim it is preshrunk. At least this is a blend so it will not shrink as bad as 100% cotton items.
