A loopwheel machine rotates at just 24 revolutions per minute, a modern knitting machine in excess of 10 times that. Each machine is only able to knit enough fabric for about 8 -10 shirts per day and can only knit a tube of a fixed diameter, so each size finished Tee or Sweat shirt is actually woven on a different sized machine. Apart from the knitted fabric feeling incredibly soft, it also allows shirts to be made with no side seams. Sweats and tees made out of loopwheel fabric are necessarily expensive, but look better and last longer than anything else.

This will happen during soaking and/or washing, where both water and soap act as lubricants. The lubricants, along with the mechanical action of the washer, help the fibres relax and contract (shrink) back to their original length. One of the reasons that dry cleaning does not shrink natural fabrics is that the friction within the fabric is not reduced by dampening.
