I washed my Lyocell t-shirt in the washing machine and yes it did shink. Wash temperature was 50 degrees ;(
Baumwolle is German for cotton. It is a fabric that looks and feels like wool and is popular in Scandinavian countries. It is known to shink when it is washed.
Exactly, you can't! Very annoying because its great fabric for hot climates. Whoever makes this start selling it by the metre!
The reason why clothes shrink when we wash them is because we wash them in cold water. Try washing them in warm water and do not add to much fabric softener because it can also ruin your clothes.
Cotton dries in both, washing machine and dryer. You can expect new cotton clothing to shrink by up to 10%. The reason for shrinking is the temperature: the higher, the more your clothing will shrink.
Wool socks, like all wool clothing will shrink when washed. However due to the blended wool it is unlikely that wool socks will shrink much.

Nah, they're man-made material designed not to shrink.
The care label will tell you whether it can be washed. Viscose is a semi synthetic/ semi natural fabric ie it is synthesised natural plant material - and should not be washed in biological detergent whose enzymes can seriously affect the fabric - it can shrink as well as deteriorate the fibres. This applies to Rayon and other trade names of viscose and viscose related fabrics.
You can tell by the type of fabric it is. If the fabric is very delicate it can not be washed regularly; while if it is not, most likely it can be washed like normal.
