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.
