In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Getting your socks wet with warm or hot water before putting them in the dryer will help them react to the heat better and shrink more, faster! Use the longest cycle possible to give them enough time to shrink, and check on your socks every once in a while to make sure they are reaching the right size. Wool is most prone to shrinking in heat, due to the structure of the natural fibers, so you don't need to expose it as much as you will other fabrics to achieve the same result. Allow the socks to cool to room temperature before deciding if you need to shrink them further. If so, try washing and drying them on high heat again until you reach the size you want.
Summary: Soak your socks. Set the dryer to the hottest setting for cotton or polyester socks. Set the dryer to a warm setting for wool socks. Remove your socks from the dryer.
