Cotton is the most used natural fiber that grows in cotton plants. The softness, comfort, and sweat-absorbing ability make it most popular with the customer. Wearing perfect-fit clothing is comfortable. But the question is how much does a 100% cotton t-shirt shrink in the dryer? Well, let’s jump to the next section to get a clear concept of the issue.
How much does a 100% cotton shirt shrink in the dryer?
Ans: If the cotton t-shirt is preshrunk then it may shrink 2-5% but when it’s not preshrunk then there is a chance to shrink up to 20%. Generally, cold water doesn’t shrink 100% cotton fabric but hot water does.
While your clothing fits fine before you wash and dye it, then if it shrinks 20% is too tight. But if it’s a bit larger, then 20% shrink will fit better. Making a cotton shrink is not too easy but not impossible.
