Default Ironing Fabric and the "Crinkle" Look

I used to wash and iron every fabric I got on intake, so it would be clean and ready to go when I wanted to use it. Lately I realized I might regret "pre-shrinking" all this fabric if I wanted that crinkly look for a project. So I just steam-ironed everything to get the wrinkles out, folded, and put away. How much would this steam-ironing affect shrinkage? I'm assuming it has to shrink it to a degree (I'm using the cotton setting). Will I still get the crinkle look at all with the fabrics I've ironed? Thanks!
