BB Slen-did you put it in the dryer?

I'm worried it will shrink too much. Just wondering what other people did with theirs. TIA!

I line dried mine until it was just a bit damp, then put it in the dryer on low to get out the wrinkles and dry it the rest of the way. Worked great!

It will shrink (a lot). Air dry if possible.

Agreed. I had one that shrunk, and wound up purchasing a bigger size b/c finding the space to line dry can be difficult.

I dry all my wraps (except silk or wool) on the delicate, air dry cycle. If I were worried about shrinking, I'd hang it to dry though.

Generally, wraps will stretch back out some after drying. But I wouldn't risk it if it's close to the perfect length for you.

The directions say to line dry. I on the other hand am hoping to shrink mine -- by a lot -- and was going to ask tips on that

What size did you get? I have a 4.9 and can't decide if it is perfect or I should have gotten the larger one, lol!

I'd dry it then and see how it comes out. If it's still too long, you can always hem it (or a tailor can do it for less than $10).
