Absolutely not; tumble drying will damage the fibers and cause the item to shrink or felt.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size and maintain even tension to keep the plies together.
Always lay the garment flat on a towel to dry; never hang it while wet, as the weight of the water will stretch the natural fibers.
To get the best results, ensure you use the appropriate needle or hook size recommended for DK weight yarn to achieve the desired tension. For care, strict adherence to the manufacturer's instructions is necessary to prevent felting or damage. Always hand wash the finished item in cold water. Lay the garment flat to dry in a shaded area. Do not use bleach, and avoid using a tumble dryer, as heat will destroy the natural fibers of the Alpaca and Merino blend.
