From the website:
Rowan Denim cotton yarn shrinks and fades when it is washed, just like a pair of jeans. The surface of the yarn is coated with dye leaving a white core which becomes gradually exposed through washing and wearing. When washed for the first time the garment shrinks in length by approx 20%; the width remains the same. In this pattern all necessary adjustments for shrinkage have been taken into consideration.

SKILL LEVEL
Recommended for intermediate knitters.
