Some wool has a really soft hand, almost squishy. Other wool has a rather "crisp" feel to it. I have processed tons of crisp wool that had a rather long staple and moderate to little crimp - without any excess takeup or "shrinkage". I'd say that the crimp of the wool influences its behavior on and off the loom more than whether it is crisp of soft.
