Some rayon will shrink when washed, and some types also bleed onto the clothes they are washed with. Be sure to check the washing instructions printed on the label of the garment. You can also minimize damage by putting the rayon into a mesh bag, then putting it into the washer.
Oh yes and it wrinkles badly too. I don't buy it for that reason.
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 !

Oh yeah. My crinkled rayon top is less than half its former self now.
Pulp linen clothes are manufactured from a blend of rayon and linen. This gives them the lightweight feel of linen and the durability of rayon. A typical blend would be 55% linen and 45% rayon. Pulp linen is extremely flexible, greatly enhancing its design possibilities.
Yes. The higher percentage of cotton in the blend, the more it will shrink. The higher percentage of spandex in the blend, the more likely the garment will be damaged in the high heat of the dryer.
A wool blend coat has been designed not to shrink, based on the blend of the wool. However, you could wash the wool coat in hot water with maximum agitation, which affects the wool, but not the blend. Your results would be unpredictable.
Wood fiber. Some rayons shrink or lose their shape (or their dye) when put into water, so most rayons should be handled with care in cleaning.

No.I have an Alfani shirt that is 70% Rayon and 30% polyester. I am trying to find more because this one does NOT wrinkle.
No. Acrylic and cotton blend should not shrink.
Baby blankets are usually a blend of cotton and polyester or rayon.
No. Mine still fits perfectly
