All polymer based fibres / products will shrink when heated. The type of polymer dictates the level of heat required, while I do not know the specific temperature this occurs for Rayon, I am guessing maybe 180 C to 200 C.

That is why the warning label says "do not tumble dry"...

To safely see the shrinkage effect, fill a everyday water bottle with hot water from a tap !
