Does this shrink in the dryer?

I have only had it a short time so can't really answer your question. When I do wash it, I will dry on low.

Mine didn't shrink when I washed and dried it. We really like ours....enough that I ordered another one for a guest bedroom.

Yes it shrinks. I bought a King size. I washed it in cold water and dried it on perma press cycle and it shrank 5" each direction. Get a King size for a queen size bed.

I didn't notice any shrinking. If it does it is very minimal. The twin size is very generous, which I like.

No. But I have a queen bed an bought the king siz to make sure it could be tucked in under my mattress.

Yes - I've washed it at home on the gentle cicle. I don't think I put it in the drier though.

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 washed it in a cold, cold setting and did not put it in the dryer and no shrinkage. :)

I put it in the washer on cold and the perm press cycle. It did not shrink. But it recommends drying it on the air only setting, but that doesn't really dry it. So I hung it up and turned it inside out after half a day.

yes they shrink but only the way that your denim jeans would. it's a tighter fit right after they come out of the dryer but much like our jeans, they tend to stretch out with consistent use until they're thrown in to the wash again. I was mine about once a week (we have 2 so we alternate them!)

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have washed it several times already and also dried it in the dryer. It always looks good after it is washed and dried.

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 and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

The cover is actually not pre shrunk, but as long as you use cold water and low heat dryer then it won't shrink. It also over cut as its 92 inches long not 90 so in case it shrink.

Yes, it is. Just remember to wash it in cold water. I dry it on the medium cycle and have had no problems with shrinkage. I have the king size blanket and if I fit it in my high efficiency washer just right, it launders beautifully.

i use two of them as covers for my sofas due to having big, hairy dogs. Yes. If you dry it for too long in the dryer and don't hang it to dry it will shrink quite a bit. One did and I was careful not to dry the other too long and it is still the same size.

I only used mine twice, and have not tried to wash it. I suppose if you did wash it, it would have to be hand washed. I definitely do not think you could put it in a dryer.

Yes, it does. The cover fits beautifully and I washed it before using it for the first time and it did not shrink.

Yes. I've washed the cover in the washing machine on gentle cycle with warm water using regular laundry detergent. The fabric covering the pad is very sturdy. I doubt it would shrink if dried in the dryer but to be on the safe side I have hung it up to dry on a hanger. The material inside the pad can be washed also in the same manner. Definitely a good purchase! I recommend it highly. It is also the perfect height for a footrest.

I washed the coverlet and did not dry, and it didn't shrink. Air drying is recommended on this type of material.
