How about cotton t-shirts and sweaters that are to be handwashed cold? I find myself with some of these after the sales season. Not part of my routine to treat mundane clothes like these in such a royal fashion. My urge is to throw them in with everything else for a spin at thirty degrees. A chance to take?
I handwash all knitwear except for polos and sweatshirts.
Cotton t-shirts can generally be thrown in the wash, but some are very delicate and have delicate collars. I have a couple of t-shirts from Orlebar Brown, for example, that were misshapen through a wash. Consider how the collar is constructed and the weight of the cloth. The lighter the fabric and the more delicate the collar, the more I would be swayed to handwash only.
Thank you. Would shrinkage be an issue?
What do you make of the handwash programmes that a lot of machines have? I tend to use that for my knitwear (which I put in a delicates bag so it doesn't stretch too much) and then dry flat.I handwash all knitwear except for polos and sweatshirts.
