Does 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton shrink in the wash?
The shrinkage of a fabric blend like 55% linen and 45% cotton can depend on various factors such as the specific weave, finish, and pre-treatment of the fabric. Linen typically has a higher tendency to shrink compared to cotton due to its natural fibers. To minimize shrinkage, it is recommended to wash the fabric in cold water, avoid high heat drying, and consider pre-washing the fabric before sewing to pre-shrink it.
Do fabrics that came from living sources shrink more in the wash than fabrics not made from living sources?
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.
