Answers:

The natural lanolin in their fleece.

better yet, how did Wooly Mammoths avoid shrinking?

LOL, And why don't cows smell as good as the leather in your car?

---

Rub them with oil

---

Rain isn't hot enough to make them shrink! You'd need hot rain, then some even hotter wind!

---

It rains under 40 degrees, always read the label.

---

Because they have magical powers - simple as take

---

Asking such a question shows that nothing stopped your brain from shrinking.

---

simple. they drip dry, no dryer

Because of the oil in the wool. Besides, it's not just water that causes wool to shrink. It's the dryer that causes most of the shrinkage.

I don't know.. but your question made me laugh.. Thanks..

---

its cos we cross "Wool sheep" with Kangaroos , So we still get "woolly jumpers".

All of the lanolin in their coats. Just think, if they didn't put lanolin in lipstick perhaps your lips would shrink every time you had a drink

---

They're pre-shrunk, check the label.

---

Keep them in the house and out of the rain.

Their wool is 100% natural and they have skin that has evolved to face the elements. When wool has been spun by man, it has additives to make it suitable for clothes and also loses the natural protection that it has when the sheep is wearing it.
