Are most cotton yarns preshrunk?
I’m planning on knitting some socks and the yarn I have is 100% cotton…. Are there any adjustments I should make to the pattern to account for shrinking?
Not usually pre shrunk. You could put the skein in a pillow case and wash and dry and it sill shrink what is going to. FYI!
