How to shrink linen effectively without damage?
Question:I have a pair of white linen ankle pants that are one size too big. I would like to shrink them slightly. How can I do this?
Answers:
You can dampen them and throw them in the dryer. Check them every 10 minutes or so to see whether they have gotten to the size you desire. Then hang dry them every time you launder them because linen will continue to shrink.
washing with warm water and/or drying at a warm temperature
I shrink my linen all the time in bleach and oranges.
