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!
Suzanne
