bring back shrunken wool clothes

[LaLa]

I use this trick from time to time...
when we felt clothes on purpose, that is one thing, but when we ruin a diaper cover or garment on accident by tossing in the dryer, this may help!

Soak in a bucket of cold water with 1 Cup of hair conditioner. Work it into the fiber and stretch it back to shape with your hands.
I Have brought a sweater shrunk to the size of an 8 year old back to life with this technique!

Thank you so much for this. I did not put this sweater in the dryer but just dried it on the line and it shrunk slightly. Not much but enough where I can't really wear a shirt under it anymore (and it needs one, itchy!) I will try this.

Wow - I never knew they were salvageable. Thanks for the tip!
