because wool only shrinks when it's constrained at both ends.

A sheeps wool is only fastened to its skin on one end. The rest of the wool fibers are free and unconstrained to move about.

That's why.

When the wool's on a sheep, it's full of oil, and this oil is replaced by the skin of the sheep if it washes off.

Once it's cut off and washed, the oil is gone and no longer repels water.
