yarn shrinkage in the loom
Explanation:
Comments on Yarn Shrinkage: H.A.S. percentage figures provide only a partial indicator as to how a fiber will behave when braided or wrapped into a hose and then cured at various temperatures. Heat causes most fibers to develop a force of shrinkage which may be very low or very high depending on the fiber type and other factors. A particular fiber may have a high percentage H.A.S. under zero tension and a low shrinkage force. A low shrinkage force may translate into a low percentage H.A.S. within the hose because the hose tube may resist the H.A.S. with a force greater than the shrinkage force of the yarn. Within a hose a fiber with a high H.A.S. and a low force of shrinkage may actually shrink less than a fiber with a low H.A.S. and a high force of shrinkage.
Measuring the force of shrinkage requires different equipment. One method coming into prominence uses a Testrite instrument modified to employ an electronic strain gauge and digital readout. The yarn is held to constant length and the force developed during heating is measured by the strain gauge. Although force of shrinkage is a very important factor in fiber performance, very few hose manufacturers test the phenomenon.

Sorry I meant Shrinkage and not Shrinking!!!!!

Apologies for the confussion
