Yes, cotton, wool, silk and linen do shrink. This is mostly because the way the fibers are made into thread involves twisting them, and in the wash, the twists get tighter, causing the fabric to shrink.

Synthetic fabrics are made from continuous filaments, and therefore do not shrink. Some synthetic fabrics will wrinkle badly, causing the fabric to appear to shrink, because of the crinkling of the fabric.
