Washing my flannel shirts... help?
Ok, so I have 2 flannel shirts that I would like to shrink a little bit but the others fit great as they are.
How should i wash (and dry) the ones I like to avoid shrinking them and what not. Can I dry them? Or do i need to let them air dry? I heard do that and then throw them in the dryer on the lowest setting for 5 to 10 minutes with a dryer sheet to get them soft and get the wrinkles out. If that's right, does it work?
Also, how much with the others shrink if I dry them? (I want them shrunk a little)
Thanks!

Well flannel shirts are delicate, and it depends on how much cotton they are made of. Check the tag! If it says "70% cotton" or anything greater, it'll definitely shrink. But if it says "60% cotton" or anything less, it most likely won't shrink..... For the shirts that you want to shrink, stick em' in the dryer on a low setting. For the shirts that you want to avoid shrinking, just let them air dry and iron them to get rid of the wrinkles! Air-drying keeps the shirts looking new longer compared to drying them in the dryer each time! :)
