I would just try wetting it and reblocking it if it hasn't felted. Did
you hand wash it in cold water and lay flat to dry? If so, it may be
all right.

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?
