I have some new t-shirts that are just slightly too large and I have only cold washed them. If I want to shrink them a little on purpose, what would you recommend I do? I don't want to over do it with too much heat and have them get all permanently crinkly and ruined from over-shrinking

soak them in boiling milk OP

works everytime

This, the fat and lipid fluids bond to the cotton and cause it to curl in on itself on a microscopic level

It gives it a really neat texture too, if the fabric is caught enough

Just deep-fry your t-shirt OP.

Do I need to boil it in buttermilk before?

not sure why you are getting troll answers....

get the shirt damp then throw it in the dryer on the highest setting for the lowest time. repeat until shirt is the desired size

fair warning it is really easy to fuck this up but no risk no reward

I also got a knit sweater that is a few sizes to big. Would washing it at 90 C ruin it?

FUCKING WRONG
its a myth that the dryer shrinks clothes. it doesnt. it is the washing in hot water that shrinks the shirt. whether you put it in the dryer on hot or medium, it will shrink the same.

Dryers actually do shrink clothes a bit, but it's because of the tumbling motion rather than the heat.

Cotton, I already washed once at 60 degrees but it did fuck all.
