Quilters Dream Wool and Hobbs Wool do not shrink any more than the cottons or cotton blends do. I haven't used it long enough to know what multiple washings would do but it is SUPPOSED to retain its suppleness and loft. I think today's processing techniquest have probably eliminated the more disagreeable characteristics of wool.
