Could it be that the yarn was inserted into the web under high tension that sprung back when off the loom? Use of a temple might have saved a little in the width, but had no influence on the length. I do know from experience that "springy" or "elastic" yarns need to be woven gently to avoid having them stretched on the loom, only to "zing" back when no longer taut.
