Canvas shrinkage

What causes canvass to shrink? I recently tried to get an original waterproof
cover onto a WW II vintage radio (No. 19 MK III) and it was very tight. The
canvass seemed very stiff also. I suspect the cover was well used since the
outside is somewhat faded.

That said, is there anyway to reverse the process of shrinking and stiffening?

TIA,
John
