will the dryer shrink these socks?

I have not had any problems so far with the socks shrinking. They've been washed and dried probably about 5 or 6 times.

So far no problems. My wife thought that too. But no problems and my wife can be kind of skeptic about stuff at times and if she likes it I know it's a hit. Too answer it straight forward no.

Yes. I have washed mine several times. I let them air dry so they don't shrink.

It does shrink, but you want to put it in the dryer AFTER you sew. This way the dryer heat will melt the little holes made by your sewing needle back together. I love this fabric. I have used it for homemade pullups. It is quite water proof. If my kid ever has a leak is around the leg holes or up the top. Never through the fabric. Those pullups have been abused, washed, dried and are still doing great.

wash as usual with other same color items. I believe the package symbols showed no dryer, but hubby wanted his 'shrunk' a little, so I threw them in the dryer and had no problems with them.

It does for me, but... Sometimes they ball up so i just have to take them out and rearrange them a little. I restart the dryer and they come out fine. I even put my thick comforter in there:-)

I have dried mine in a regular clothes dryer on medium, with no issue. If you are nervous you can always dry them on low.

No they do not shrink. I generally dry them on a drying rack in the garage (I live in Florida, so it's like a dryer). They definitely are not plush, and almost feel rubbery. They are a little space age(y). More info than you asked for~

I would assume they do shrink but I always wash them in cold water and Woolite and have had no problems. I am amazed just how warm these underwear were.

I've washed & dried mine many times & they shrink very little. Now I don't ever wash with really hot water or dry at high heat, it's not necessary & wastes electricity. A grandma that knows. :-)

hi its me again, i saw the other answer, hers has shrunk cause she has used the dryer, this is wool and under no circumstances should it go in the dryer or it will shrink, they do not shrink if you wash on 30 and just hang to dry

Shrinkage depends on the type of fabric the garment is made of. Since there is no cotton in these, they cannot shrink.

Do NOT dry them in the dryer. Dry them in the open air. The heat from the dryer will destroy the way they work.

My husband is a 10 1/2 EE and I ordered him the 9-11. He's had no problem with the socks shrinking.

They look like they shrink when they come out of the dryer, but they stretch right back out and fit ok.

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

As noted in other answers... these socks do seem fairly quick to dry, but local conditions (high humidity due to weather) could determine whether the socks would dry completely overnight. Taking two pair to rotate is a good suggestion... also taking a small microfiber towel to roll the socks in (roll & squeeze socks after washing/rinsing to wick excess water from the socks) before setting out to dry would be a good idea. The Silver Drystat in the blend will retard odor as well as speed up the drying. If necessary the socks could be worn 2 days between washings easily without any fear of odor unless feet are prone to being very sweaty, or a person is engaged in athletic activities.
