Help!!!

I accidentally threw my favorite wool sweater in the the dryer. Any tips on un-shrinking it? I found some tips on the interwebs
such at warm water and hair conditioner.
One site said use a wool friendly detergent, but alas I'm a straight single male, I only have
what I buy at costco.
Another option would be to loose some weight -Like 100lbs or donate it to a 5 year old.
Help?

If it really go that small you may be out of luck. You could try re-wetting, lay between two clean towels and roll it up and squeeze to help get some of the water out, do not ring it like a dish rag, then try and stretch the heck out of it pulling evenly at the shoulder & side seams all the way around and up and down, then lay flat to dry. Can't hurt it anymore at this point.

Been there and done that but never knew how to fix it. Hope someone can help you!

if it looks like it would fit one of the cast on 'honey i shrunk the kids' its prolly dead.

Thanks. I tried to stretch it out by putting it on... But it looked like one of those belly shirts that were all the rage last year.
I may try the wool friendly detergent route. Any suggestions on a wool friendly detergent?

I'll keep you guys posted on this epic tragedy.

Me and wool do not get along with one another, sorry but good luck anyways.

No idea. Had the same thing happen to me once, and try as I might - the end result was that I threw it away.

A bunch of nice clothes I brought at a high class store called K-mart all shrank....lucky for them I don't own dynamite!!

UPDATE. I'm soaking my sweater now. That's going well. It seems to be getting wet. I added a little GAIN, so we'll see what happens next.

Help!!!
