If you have a linen sling, do you dry it in the dryer?
I bought a used one, washed it and hung it to dry, and now it's pretty stiff. Wondering if drying would help, or mess it up. Help!

I dried mine and then it took a bit for it to soften up again but it has.
eta: I put mine in the dryer on delicate and it was a little stiff but softened up quickly after a few uses.

@bushelandapeck: Oooh, okay. So using it is the key. Maybe I'll put my toddler in it for a few minutes here and there (she's still under the weight limit) to break it in a bit more. Thanks!
-
@mfa_lady: I wouldn't hesitate to put it in the dryer on low for a few mins either to see if that helps!

I just got a used as well.
The "Care" page on their website says to either hang it or put it in the dryer on low.

Ironing will help.
Run it back and forth through the rings.
Use it often. It'll soften up. -
@oliviaoblivia: Oooh, okay, these make sense. Thanks!
@Willow: Thanks! I had seen that, too, I just wondered if one was better than the other. Mine is SO stiff after hanging to dry.
@bushelandapeck: Good idea. Maybe that and a good ironing will do the trick.

I wash mine rarely (the linen is amazing) and dry when I do wash. Wearing will break it in

@sorrycharlie: Hopefully I won't need to wash it a ton once DD2 gets here--I just wanted to wash it when it got here since I bought it secondhand. Do you still wear C in it? I might try putting E in it a little to break it in.
