The main differences between fabric wrinkle and fabric shrinkage is given bellow:
| Fabric shrinkage |
Fabric wrinkle |
| 1. A dimensional change resulting in a decrease in the length or width of a specimen subjected to specified conditions is known shrinkage. |
1. wrinkle is a fold in fabric introduced unintentionally at some stages of processing. |
| 2. Shrinkage is the process in which a fabric becomes smaller than its original size, usually through the process of laundry. |
2.Wrinkle of textile material is a complex effect involving tensile, compressive, flexing and torsional stresses. |
| 3. Fabric shrinkage occurs Due to high tension during preparation of fabric which result in excess stretch in yarn and due to swelling of fibers for fiber structure. |
3.Heat and water cause wrinkles. Heat breaks the bonds holding polymers in place within the fibers of a fabric. When the bonds are broken, the fibers are less rigid with respect to each other, so they can shift into new positions |
