Just shrunk my OH's new cotton t-shirt in a 40° wash, mixed setting.
Label says 40°.
My OH says I should have washed at 30° as everything is 30° nowadays.
I don't think a new t-shirt should shrink anyway - it's not a wool jumper - definitely not at 40°.
Who's right?
Does it matter? The shirt isn't going to unshrink itself.
Did you put it on a fast spin?
