Woolmark recommends flat drying most wool sweaters in the shade, unless their care label specifically allows tumble drying.

0 / 6 done

Read the care label for the recommended drying method and whether tumble drying is explicitly allowed.
Avoid twisting or wringing the rinsed sweater aggressively; remove excess water gently.
Spread a light-colored lint-free towel on a flat surface and lay the knitwear on it.
Gently reshape sleeves, shoulders and hem to their original dimensions, smoothing major wrinkles.
Air-dry flat in a ventilated shaded space away from direct sun and radiator heat; do not hang the wet knitwear.
Once completely dry, fold for storage rather than leaving a heavy knit on a hanger for long periods.
