Anything is possible! I've pretty much told all I know about what happened. I hadn't heard of superwash suddenly fulling, and it concerned me. The reason this has been turning around in my head - I started spinning yarn specifically for socks using a blend that contains superwash wool (superfine superwash Merino from Louet, if it matters). I dyed it (~60 min, at 185F) and am spinning it up now. I worry that the sustained heat of the dyeing process jump-starts the "unsuperwashing" effect.
