What happens to Merino clothing durability and performance after you shrink it with heat?
I have an icebreaker 150 merino T-shirt that is a little bit too large for me, but the size below it is too small. The shirt I have is a little bit too wide in the shoulders and slightly long. I’m thinking about putting the large shirt into hot water for a little bit to see if it will shrink, but I am also reading that Merino wool will become like felt when it shrinks. I’m wondering if that will impact the shirt’s texture, durability, or performance like sweat-wicking features, quick drying etc
