how do you dry sweaters?

especially how do you get the shape back when you lay it flat?

I usually just lay it flat and the shape is there for the handwashing stuff. But most of my wool sweaters I dry clean.

I dryclean all of my sweaters because I can never get them to look right after I wash them.

you can put your sweater in the dryer...after it all dry...and use the Fluff cycle. IT uses air with no heat!!

really? and that will get the shape back? when they come out of the washing machine I try to pull on the bottoms...should I not do that?

it will usually help the sweater go back to its original shape.

really? I so did not know that...so when they are wet...I just have to dry them flat...no stretching or anything? then throw them on with the air?

I follow the washing instructions and fluff them in the dryer after they are dry. It definitely works.

i had a system when i was in college because I was like Felicity with all the sweaters I wore!!

I would hand wash them in ice cold water (idiot! Lol - but in college who has the $$ to dry clean?) Then lay them on a towel on top of the dryer to dry. Sometimes they would lose their shape.

I've shrunk a couple of sweaters by putting them in the dryer. One was shrunk to a doll size.
