Dry the silk on low heat. Low heat will shrink your silk, and there’s less chance of damage than if you were to use the high heat setting on your dryer.

However, tumble drying silk always comes with the risk of damage. If your silk has already shrunk enough from washing it in warm water, consider hanging it up to air dry instead of tumble drying it.
