Hi Nora,

When I was new to spinning I spun up some beautiful Targhee wool from one
of my girls and knit a sweater. I made the sweater come down over my
posterier as I was a little chubby and wanted to cover it up. 15 yrs later
and many washings as I loved the sweater, it now comes to my waist.

Needless to say I wash and "shock" all my handspun yarns, wether I've dyed
the wool before spinning or not. Since then, I've have very little
shrinkage in
any of my garments.
