Why doesn't sheep shrink?

AnswerRain water isn't hot. Sheep have lanolin all over the fleece to prevent it from getting really wet. The natural oils prevent the wool fibers from 'snagging' with other fibers. Sheep's wool is much looser then the tight knits used in threads to make material.AnswerNo, sheep do not shrink in the rain. Sheep secrete what is called Lanolin, this substance covers the wool and creates a waterproof covering over the wool. Wool is not subject to shrinking until it is woven tightly and free from the Sheep's source of Lanolin.AnswerBecause they are flesh and blood, not made out of wool. And wool only shrinks if it is woven tightly together into fabric. Sheep also secrete a substance, called lanolin, which covers the wool and makes it waterproof.AnswerThey don't shrink until after you've thrown them in the dryer.
