SHRINKAGE,

Relaxationshrinkagecan occur in knit fabrics that havebeen improperly
stretchedand elongatedbythe manufacturer. When this occurs, garment
may be pressed back into shapeafter each washand dry cycle.
Progressiveordelayedshrinkageis caused when starch or sizing(in some
fabrics)isgradually removedbylaundering. Maybe noticed in older
garments that havebeen laundered many timeswithoutpreviousshrinkage.
Treat as for RelaxationShrinkageabove.
Shrinkugecausedby overheatingoccurs in certain knit fabrics that have
been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed
the temperatures usedto shape set, shrinkagemay occur.This cannot be
corrected, but it can be prevented by washingincoldor warm water; drying
on LowHeat/Knits.
