Knitted Sweaters

Shrunk sweaters, any remedies?

I carelessly tossed my beloved knitted sweater into the dryer. Now it’s a bit too short. Is there any thing I can do to lengthen it again?

It may take some time but most likely it can be done. Soak your sweater in cool water with hair conditioner in it. Use a lot. The hair conditioner helps the fibers slip by each other. What has happened is that the heat and agitation from the dryer caused the fibers to lock together and you want them to release each other. Soak your sweater for about 30 minutes. Carefully lift it out of the water in a big bunch, not by its edges to avoid distorting the shape. Squeeze as much water out as you can but do not wring it, again to avoid distorting it. Lay it out on a couple of towels, shape it to its natural shape and roll it in the towels. Press as much water out as you can, avoiding wringing. Unroll and place it on a couple more dry towels. NOW you can begin to pull GENTLY to the former shape it had before you put it in the dryer. Gently is the key here because you don’t want to distort it. Don’t get in a hurry, you may have to repeat this process several times before you get this beloved sweater back to its original shape and size. Let the sweater dry completely laying flat on dry towels or on a sweater drying screen out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. If the size and shape are not where you want them repeat this process until you get it right. Patience is key here. It can be done because I did it. But it was not a quick fix.
