Relaxation shrinkage can
occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched
and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may be pressed back
into shape after each wash and dry cycle.

caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics)
is gradually removed by laundering. This may also be noticed in older garments that
have been washed many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for relaxation
shrinkage above.
Shrinkage caused by overheating
occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been
heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures
used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be
prevented by washing in cold water
drying on Low or Delicate heat.
