    my best suggestion is to put it in the tumble dryer on a LOW heat witha couple of tennis balls - tht sound help even it out texture wise.

    Best of luck

    I would suggest the tumble drier with the tennis balls too.

    However, for future reference, here's a link to a website that tells you what those symbols mean.
