Flannel can shrink up to 5% if not pre-shrunk. To help alleviate this high shrink rate, we pre-shrink our flannel before we cut and sew your garment. This helps the garment stay true to size vs. shrinking up and being unwearable after the first wash.
Just be sure to always read through the care label to ensure your flannel clothing is well taken care of. If followed, you should be able to keep your garment in good shape for many years.
WASHING:
- Wash your flannel garment in cold water.
- Do not use bleach.
DRYING:
- Dry flat to ensure no, or minimal, shrinkage after washing.
- If you want to tighten the fabric, or shrink it a little bit, you can dry your flannel garment on a low warm temperature setting.
- Use a warm iron when needed.
