Honey I shrunk my jumper!

I posted this in housekeeping earlier but got no replies, so thought I’d try here. I absent-mindedly threw my lovely new jumper into the wash at 40 degrees. It’s made of 48% merino, 30% viscose, 15% nylon and 7% cashmere. It was a loose-fitting flowing style to begin with, but now while I can technically still get it on, it’s too tight and short.

As soon as it came out of the washing machine and I realized my mistake I stretched it as much as I could while it was still wet.

Is there any thing I can do to get my beautiful jumper back??

Put lots of fabric conditioner into water, let it soak in a bit, and give it more gentle stretching?

Soak it in tepid water with hair conditioner . It should relax the fabric enough that you can stretch it out gently. Trick that saved my wool jumper

Ooh thanks, I’ll try that.
