Apparatus and a related method control within acceptable limits, of less than two percent(2%), residual shrinkage in garments to be made from a knitted fabric tube or open web. The apparatus and method also apply to other fabrics subject to high shrinkage. The knitted fabric is passed continuously in a moist condition through a first shrinkage compactor. Then the fabric is carried on an endless belt through a special dryer in a relaxed condition to allow loops of knits to shorten. A series of nozzles are arranged above and below the fabric in an alternating format to cause the fabric to wave in the dryer still in the relaxed condition. The web is then conveyed still in the relaxed condition to a second shrinkage range for final shrinking to a desired weight per surface area with less than two percent(2%) residual shrinkage. Thus the garments are safe from further shrinking in home tumble dryers.
