Does baumwolle shrinke in the wash?

Answer 1

Yes, Baumwolle (cotton) can shrink in the wash, especially if it is exposed to high temperatures. The shrinking occurs because the fibers are natural and can contract when wet and heated. To minimize shrinkage, it's best to wash cotton in cold water and air dry or use a low heat setting in the dryer. Always check the care label for specific washing instructions.
