Meglet Feb 2021 8:24pm, 12 Feb 2021 21,578 posts	0 Meglet It's the composition you need to know. If it's acrylic, cotton or superwash wool then probably ok. It's its got any non-superwash wool then no-way! Personally, I don't think I'd risk any hand knit/crochet in the tumble dryer, but then I'm fairly cautious with my dryer anyway

Meglet Feb 2021 8:35pm, 12 Feb 2021 21,579 posts	0 Meglet That will be fine to wash and tumble, and presumably not too much of an issue if something goes wrong. In fact some people swear by tumbling as a means of blocking acrylic.
