is there a way to retrieve a shrunken wool sweater?

I have just reduced one of my favorite wool sweaters in my washing machine … bummer!

E 'Block said. Use the same detergent you used when you had fallen, and cool, not cold water. Take it out after the spin cycle. Lay it flat on a large flat surface covered with a towel. Use a medium iron to "stretch and iron" out from the middle to the outside of the garment. It helps if you have a model to measure, so if you have a life or a similar garment in shape, draw a diagram to compare the newspaper while the block. This is the best you can do, if you do not have a model of dress making. If you have one of these, put the wet sweater on it and crank it over until it's right, then let it dry. Al Come back and check every hour to pull down the hem and sleeves. As it dries it will pull up. If you have one of these and wear a heavy duty boat, which I use for the finish. Here's an unusual alternative: to put on a pair of thick sweaters and see if you can squeeze up on them, pull down the hem and sleeves and continue to pull down from time to time while wearing it. Wear until it is dry. It must be perfect. I should probably mention that the soap is not only the water warm wool or hair dryer to shrink ago. Always and only use liquid soap and very cool wool. Good luck:)
