Shrinkage (fabric) fabric is forced to shrink width and/or lengthwise, creates a fabric in which any residual tendency to shrink after subsequent laundering is minimal compacting machines. For wool garments, shrinkage is due to scales on the fibers which heat, water and agitation cause to stick together. Other fabrics are stretched by mechanical forces during production, and can shrink slightly when heated (though to a lesser degree than wool). Some clothes are shrunk in the factory to avoid this problem. Shrinkage (fabric) Shrinkage(in fabric) is a parameter of testing textile fabrics to measure changes in length and width after washing (laundry), shrinkage
