Sheep don't shrink (well, they do if you starve them, then the SPCA will be on your case) WOOL shrinks.
However, wool has to be washed in HOT water in order to shrink. If you don't bring your sheep in from a scalding hot rain, the SPCA will be on your case (what, again? will these protectors of animals never stop?) So, you had better get the shepherd out there and bring them in to the barn.
So . . . . that's basically why sheep don't shrink in the rain.

It could be that the wool they wear is in a raw form. When a product is created from it, such as a sweater. The wool is then modified into that product and we see the end results of washing that sweater.

Because water does not make anything really shrink.. Now if you tossed his coat in the dryer it would;-)

Do you shrink when you get wet? No. So why would they?
