What is it about tumble dryers that ruins certain fabrics? Is it just the heat or is there something else?
Could a low heat plan be safe for wool, jeans or knitwear?
Background:
I’ve been wary of drying anything but towels, socks and bedsheets in a tumble dryer all my life, out of fear that I’d ruin the fabrics in my clothes.
I’ve recently baught a tumble dryer that has a wool/hand wash plan, that I haven’t had the courage to try it.

Gentle fabrics are delicate, that’s why they are easy to rip. Tumbling them with other things can give them tiny rips that spread and make them look shaggy.
I wouldn’t put jeans in that category, I put mine in the dryer all the time.
