How to Unshrink a Sweater.
You can resize that favorite cozy keeper. Because as we all know, laundry accidents happen.
There's a tried-and-true method that's worked several times for me during this funky time when the kids are learning to do laundry - and learning how to solve some laundry problems of their own creation, like the incredible shrinking sweater.
1 Soak the shrunken sweater in a sinkful of warm water and 2 tablespoons of baby shampoo.
About 15 minutes should allow the shampoo to relax natural fibers such as wool.
2 Remove the sweater from the water.
Roll it in a towel to reduce moisture.
3 Pin the sweater to a large corkboard.
Stretch it to size.
4 Return every few hours to re-stretch and re-pin the sweater until it's dry.
