Hi Joyce, Your question is very general so it makes it difficult for me to answer you. Here are some methods of test for %shringkage to Laudering AATCC 135-2004; BS EN 25077-1994; BS EN ISO 3759-1995; BS EN ISO 6330-2001. You can get obtain all the equipment and consumeables required for carrying out these tests from SDL-Atlas. Most Retailers quote their own performance standards for % shrinkage which will depend on the fibre content and enduse.
