Does this shrink when washed for the first time?

I've had my base layers for over a year and if you follow the care instructions they will be fine. To be more direct no they do not shrink.

You need to wash all wool in cold water. It won't shrink if you wash it in cold water. The sleeves are a little short on this shirt, otherwise Minus 33 are really great.

Hand wash merino wool items and air dry. Dont put in a washing machine because warm water will shrink wool. GL

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

I have washed and dried this bedspread and the matching shams multiple times and did not notice any shrinkage.

Yes that does happen and more so as you start to wash the sheet over n over. I think it shrinks quite a bit.

I washed and air dried it a couple times before giving it to my son and it didn't. I don't know if washing it was the reason or just because. I hope that helps you.

Yes, I washed mine of course before putting it on my bed, followed the brief directions to dry on "low" and it came out fine.

Have only washed once since I use quilt as an insert for my duvet. And NO it did NOT bunch up after washing. I air dried for 10 minutes and then let it dry naturally.

It is 100% unshrunk cotton. IT WILL SHRINK. How much depends of how it is washed and dried. Cold wash + hang dry = minimum shrinkage. Hot wash + hot dryer = max shrinkage. I bought a Size 0 expecting it to shrink. It started off slightly too big, and now it is too small. It shrank ~4" in the pant leg and ~4" sleeve length after hot wash and hot dryer. If planning to shrink it, definitely start incrementally.

I actually didn't notice any shrinking. I've boiled, washed, and dried multiple times now.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

We have washed ours three times now, and it still looks brand new! We just make sure to wash it in cold water and dry on no heat or tumble dry low so it won't shrink.

It doesn't shrink, the fabric is kind of plastic. I've washed it 2 times and it has the same size.

Not hardly at all actually. I have only done smaller projects, but as far as i know, it hardly shrinks, if at all. Hope this helps you.

I didn't wash it first but I have washed it recently. I used cold in washer and low in dryer. All good. Mine is on top of my queen sofa mattress and they are the same size.

Yes, it washes beautifully. I put it in a large front load washer, then I dried it on medium temperature for awhile until it was just damp and hung it outside to finish drying it smelled great from hanging outside! There was no shrinkage at all. Looks brand new.
