How should I wash my Yellow Llama printed Garments? Will they shrink, crack or Fade a lot?
Whenever possible Yellow Llama uses pre shrunk 100% cotton. However, cotton shrinks when it is washed and dried. If you purchase one of our 100% cotton tees, there will be some shrinkage when you wash it. Plan on 3-5%, this is unavoidable. If you request our 50/50 cotton-poly blend you will experience less shrinkage post wash and dry. To minimize shrinkage we recommend washing in cold water and drying on the delicate cycle. Those of you that are ripped can wash in hot water and max heat cycle on the drier. This will insure that skin tight look for the 2% body fat crowd. The Good news about your Yellow Llama garments is you will not have any cracking or fading from normal washing of your garment. Yellow Llama uses a state of the art ink infusion technology that permeates the fiber prior to the ink curing processes. As a result your Garments will not fade or crack with use.
