They don't shrink when you wash, but they shrink a lot when you dry them so I have been air drying/hanging mine

The greater the cotton percentage, the more it will shrink.

They shrink when you dry them. I have several sweaters from first year that I only wear around the house due to how badly shrunk they are. You really need to be careful when you clean McMaster branded clothing as I find that generally, they are of poor quality.
