Does Cloth Made Out Of Acrylic Shrink?

[Kenji4861]

I have an XL sweater made with 100% Acrylic. The XL is too big for me and the store no longer has L, M, or S of it.

Will cloth made out of acrylic shrink?

Shrinky-dinks do.

Put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

Only cotton shrinks. Acrylic might, but it will probably stretch out again, I'm not positive...

My sweaters and ski caps expand after a few months worth of laundry.

Kevin is right. Only cotton shrinks.

Wool, also.
