∙ 11y agoI tried to shrink coat that is a 60%wool/40%polyester blend by washing it in hot water and drying it on high heat. It didn't work. In my case, I think the company's labeling may be suspect.

Can you put felt in the dryer?
This is not recommended, if it is acrylic felt the heat will soften the plastic fibers and things like lint will stick to it, this will happen even if there is nothing else in the dryer as lint from previous loads gets trapped in all those little holes, if you are using a nicer wool/ rayon blend or wool, your felt will shrink, how much depends on the wool content, better to let it air dry.
