Reshape when damp, dry outdoors on a line.
Smedley mill recommended use the hand wash setting on the machine with baby shampoo.
No shrinkage in any of my stuff over the last 20+ years

A fair amount of water should have drained in the machine, even after a low spin. I put some of the garments flat (expensive jumpers) on the rack, ever so slightly stretched so they keep their shape. The rest goes like anything else on the lines or even on a hanger. If you hand wash make sure everything is flat, a very wet woolen jumper on a hanger will end-up as long as a dress.

Exactly.

@Lolo go on then. How do you dry merino/other wool items? I find that this is where shrinkage occurs.
