Dd is new to knitting (an adult) but had covid before Xmas and spent her time in isolation knitting a scarf kit she'd been gifted a few years prior, and gave it to me (proudly) for Xmas. It was a bit too long and thin but lovely of course but it had badly curled up either side so needed flattening (sorry can't remember the proper term atm) I diligently pinned it all and misted it etc but when it had dried it was exactly the same.
I found it the other day and thought I'd pop it in with my hand washing and flatten it after, did that today (wool setting 30 degrees) and it's come out shrunken and matted looking! I'm gutted - is there anything anyone can suggest I do to save it please?
