How To Shrink 80 Acrylic 20 Wool Hat
Can I shrink the 80/20 acrylic wool baseball cap? 3
I have a big baseball cap and I want to reduce the size.
updateI've tried washing and drying with water, but it doesn't seem to shrink (maybe it's not too much wool?)
Acrylic is not something that pulls and tears the wool, so be careful.
If you plan to wash it in the washing machine, keep your cap in a slightly larger container so that it does not end up in the container.
You can machine wash the lint to remove the lint and then place it in a pre-heated dryer to dry. Or you can put it in the dishwasher (yes, it works great) and wash it in a normal wash cycle, but dry it in the heat instead of outside.
All acrylic and woolen fabrics will actually shrink and yes it is possible to shrink this cap, just wash it with water for five minutes. I now!
Rinse with water and once done, apply on your scalp and adjust to your size and use it all day until it is dry so that your scalp does not shrink too much.
