Yes, jersy knit fabric can and will shrink due to the simple fact that it is a knit. So the next question should be how much? For that the amount of shrinkage may vary depending on the quality of the material purchased. While 1/2"-1" would probably be considered average, textile manufacturers have seen shrinkage of up to 3" or more on larger yardages.
