How on earth to clothes get turned inside-out in the washer?

[brigden]

I've never understood how this happens... Anyone?

It's caused by motion and friction.

Gnomes, probably.

Obviously, but I still can't see how a sleeve or a pant leg manages to turn inside-out.

the question should be, how do you get turned inside out...

 

[WhiteKnight]

I read somewhere that it's because the seams (which protrude on the inside), get pulled on so the clothing turns inside out.
