THE MAIN REASON IS SCALES PRESENT ON THE SURFACE OF WOOL FIBERS. When AGETATED in the WASHING m/c with water they attach with each other and shrink, same thing takes place during tumble dye(temperature plays the role).

when you rolling or pressing wool by the application of moisture or heat, motions and soap, that's causing the constituent fibers to mat together,to create a smooth surface
and shrinking .

Funny, not.
It shrinks because it is a loosely woven fiber, which tightens when it is exposed to water and then dried.

DEAR MISS
PLEASE READ
WHEN WASHING A WOOL SWEATER PLEASE USE
WOOLITE TO WASH IT IN AND NEVER PUT IT IN THE DRY
ALWAYS HANG IT TO DRY IF YOU PUT IT IN THE DRYER
THAT IS WHAT SHRINKS IT OK
TAKE CARE
