Slinger

[M. Demetrius]

I'd suggest washing them in hot, separately, in case they fade. Then dry them in the dryer. If they are going to shrink, that will doyou the trick, and it's better if they shrink before you sew the garments.

After that first hot wash, they will probably not fade any more. And after that wash, I'd wash them in warm or cold. If you sew a zigzag stitch over the cut edges, or blanket stitch by hand, they won't unravel and make knots/frays. Otherwise, you'll lose an inch or so to tangly gnarls. That's not usually a problem, but just pointing it out ahead of time.
