I do the wash in the sink with hot water, squeeze in a towel and then spin a salad spinner! I now use a color catcher in the wash as I found some Moda prints DO bleed!
ironing while damp finishes the shrinking process.
NOTE, all fabrics contain sprayed on pesticides, so when hand washing keep this in mind in you suddenly get nauseous or get a headache... if you are known to be sensitive to the chemicals, wash outdoors in fresh air!
