Dry Flat

Drying Symbols

Meaning

A square with a horizontal line in the middle means the garment must be dried flat on a surface. Do not hang, as the weight of the wet fabric may cause stretching and shape loss. Ideal for knitted garments and wool items that become heavy when wet.

Tips

  • Place on a dry towel to absorb moisture
  • Shape the garment before drying
  • Flip periodically for even drying
