I am quite pleased with the shrinkage, it is as I wanted it to be. The difficult thing will be to get the same shrinkage with the finished project as the sample was simply done by hand. The finished scarf will have to go into the washing machine, maybe I will have to do it several times if it is not satisfactory after the first.
