If an item is 60 percent cotton and 40 percent modal will it shrink?

Cotton is known to shrink when exposed to heat, moisture, and agitation due to its natural fibers contracting. Modal, a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech trees, is generally more resistant to shrinking compared to cotton. However, the extent of shrinkage will depend on the specific blend of the two fibers, the fabric construction, and the care instructions followed during washing and drying. It is recommended to follow the garment's care label and use cold water and low heat to minimize shrinkage.
