Do they shrink after the 3 rounds of initial prep boiling/washing?

Yes, but as they are" better fit" they will be long enough to still sit nicely tripled in a cover.

My daughter just got a set of these for a shower gift. She washed these up and we were amazed how much they shrunk! If we'd known we would have asked for a larger size.

It seemed to me that any shrinkage would be none or minimal. I used very tepid water. I think these would be the perfect medium for stenciling or fabric painting. Enjoy your project.

Mine did not shrink at all. They are a micro-fleece polyester, which does not shrink

Mine didn't shrink when I washed and dried it. We really like ours....enough that I ordered another one for a guest bedroom.

No shrinkage at all. I am 6"1" and I love them--heavy, & long and they never pull out of your pants when you reach up for something. You will not be disappointed with them.

I have washed and dried mine several times. Have had no issues with fading or shrinking.

mine did not shrink but I wash in cold water & dry in permanent press cycle. Great sheets but heavy, not good in hot weather. The one problemis that I had to buy the king pillow caes separately, the pillow cases that come with the set are a wast of money for the larger pillows.

I use these in our guest room which doesn't get a lot of use. They did not shrink after 2 or 3 washings.

No they do not shrink. I generally dry them on a drying rack in the garage (I live in Florida, so it's like a dryer). They definitely are not plush, and almost feel rubbery. They are a little space age(y). More info than you asked for~

Hi there. The instructions on how to wash it are on the back of the package. It should not shrink. The instructions say "Machine wash the Protector as quickly as possible after spillage, preferably while still fresh and wet. DO NOT USE BLEACH or BLEACH ALTERNATIVE. To avoid blistering, tumble dry in the dryer at medium (or lower) temperature always together with bed linens or towels (NEVER dry the Protector alone in a dryer)." I hope that helps. :)

Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat. The pants did shrink some (perhaps 1/2") in length. In my grey set the pants were on the short side to begin with. Shrinkage would normally be welcome (I am only 5'4") however the grey sweat pants ran pretty short and are now barely long enough. My navy blue pants are fine but were cut longer at the start. The fit otherwise remains fine after repeated washing and drying. So far they have held up well remaining soft, no pilling, very comfortable. Fabric content on the sets I've received is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat.

Hard to say as it depends on how stretchy the material is and how tightly you made your loops. However, when I make anything on any sized loom, I allow for at least one-third shrinkage.

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

I have not had any problems so far with the socks shrinking. They've been washed and dried probably about 5 or 6 times.

I dry mine but not on high. I didn't notice any shrinkage at all. Hope that's helpful to you.

No, never! Some you might feel the nead to peal after washing and drying them. It's a great product and I've purchased several for family, friends and neighbors.

We washed ours on gentle cycle but didn't dry them in the dryer. Just let them air dry. They didn't shrink on us :) we have the white covers so some stains remained but definitely look better!!
