Is it merely "shrunken"? Or did it go all the way to felted?
Years ago, I heard of an old country remedy for slightly-shrunken
sweaters -- you soak the sweater in a solution of epsom salts and
then carefully re-block it. But I never tried it and I can't
remember the proportions.... Does anyone know what I'm talking about???
Good luck!

I accidentally washed a wool sweater and it shrank. Is there any
cure to
stretch it out again?
