I run it in the dryer for a few minutes to fluff it up and get the wrinkles out. then lay flat, on a special drying rack or flat surface with a towel. Reshape it and let it dry.
I hand wash my cashmere and wool. Just be careful with temperatures.
If you hang it on the line, it could loose the shape. Even draping it over the line will leave a mark. Just my experience.

The very best way to dry a sweater(I have done it for years) is to have a towel that is large.. a bit larger than the sweater.. Lay the towel on a bed or someplace all laid out.. then put the sweater on the towel.. fold in the arms of the sweater onto the front of the sweater that is laid out and then fold each end of the towel(that is.. lap it over onto the bottom of the sweater and the top part, lap it over on the top part.. then ROLL the towel with the sweater inside and leave it to dry for a day.. the towel will be damp so do not put it(the towel with the sweater inside)anyplace that would hurt the surface of anything...

the best way to dry a sweater is to lay it flat on a dry towel , this way it will keep its shape without stretching or getting marks from the hanger around the shoulders , if the sweater is made of wool it will shrink in the dryer , even in low temperature.

Great , and smart , yes. It works because : I had one I hang it outside to air dry , fine.
Next time my grandmom did the laundry and she didn't know , so she put it in Low-heat dryer , now I can't wear it anymore. =(

Yes. It seems no matter what setting used on a dryer they always want to shrink.

Since heat shrinks sweaters, I would say no heat would shrink it less than some heat
