It definitely can if you don't wash it properly. You really want to hand wash it to keep the material from pilling or getting warped. But, you can use a washing machine if you need to. No matter how you choose to wash your fleece, it's super important that you use cool water. Warm water and hot water can cause the material to shrink. Once the fleece is clean, never machine dry it! The heat and tumbling is a surefire way to cause the material to shrink. Instead, hang the material up in a well-ventilated area. Allow the fleece to fully dry before you take it down and store it so it doesn't develop a smell.

I already washed my velvet dress and it's no longer soft - is it possible to fix it? I used a small amount of gentle detergent and washed it in water, hung to dry.

Have it dry cleaned. That might help restore it.

Does silk shrink when washed?

Yes, silk will shrink in water or when it’s exposed to heat, so you could also shrink it if you put it in the dryer on a high-heat setting.
