Does anyone know how much wool shrinks when you wash it?
I'm using yarn with 20% wool. How much would this muffler shrink if I washed it?
(I just want to make it smaller, it's not dirty or anything)

What are the washing instructions on it? Can you put it in the wash? Or does it say hand wash?

what's the other 80%? polyester?

since you're in the process of knitting it yourself, make a small swatch, wash it, and see how much that srinks
