Yes, Egyptian cotton can and does shrink. In order to avoid this, make sure you do not watch your Egyptian cotton in hot water. You also will want to allow the cotton to air dry and avoid using a drying machine.

If you dry your 100 percent cotton Old Navy skinny jeans in the dryer, they are likely to shrink. Cotton can shrink when exposed to heat, especially if it's not pre-shrunk. The jeans may also feel tighter after drying, as the fabric can constrict. To prevent this, it's best to air dry or use a low-heat setting.
No the cotton will not shrink in your dryer
Anything with cotton in it will shrink some if it has not been preshrunk. The amount it will shrink depends on the percentage of cotton in the material. The more polyester the material has the less it will shrink.
