Why do wool garments need explicit drying permission?

Wool treatment depends on the garment and the dryer programme, not simply on the presence of a wool setting. Some items require a specific non-machine drying method.

Understanding this situation

Movement, moisture and heat can change shape or texture. A hand-wash label is not automatically a tumble-dry permission, and a short timer setting is not a universal gentle substitute.

A useful next step

Match the garment instructions to the exact model's supported treatment. If no compatible option exists, follow the labelled alternative. Do not repeat drying trials on a sensitive item to determine whether the appliance can tolerate it.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
