For dark coloured jumpers fill a nappy sized bucket with blood heat water and add 2 tablespoons of Fullers Earth(available from chemists its a high calcium clay with bleaching agent)for light co lured use 4 tablespoons. Put the jumper in and agitate it with your hands until thoroughly wet. Let sit for 10-15mins and then rinse in blood heat water(do not leave in for longer or it will bleach)Lie the jumper flat on a towel in a shady spot and leave to dry. Gently stretch back to shape as it is drying. For even stretching use 2 wide-toothed combs on either side of the jumper and stretch with the combs as it is drying.

Oh dear, you really can't. Did you toss it in the dryer by mistake? I learned that lesson the hard way. I had a great cashmere gray sweater my other half tossind the dryer - went from a L to an XS. There was no recovering it, so I gave it to my friend. You can try stretching it when it's wet, but you'll never have the same sweater you had before. It's a bummer. Next time, dry it on a rack. You can get one at Walmart for under twenty bucks - it's a plastic screen with feet you can either set in the tub or over a washtub. The sweater air dries without the heat of the dryer or the stress of hanging over a hanger or a clothesline. Good Luck!

option one is.
on a moonless night catch a spotted moth and ask it fly three times round your house. After this kill the moth, grind it up with the essence of the fire orchid only found in Berlize and add a few drops of detergent. Speak the words shamolah shamolah 25 times and as long as you do not open your eyes the jumper will be as good as new.
option 2 is
buy a new one

You can't really unshrink it, but you can stretch it back out. Get it really wet and stretch it out all over. lay it out on a flat surface until it dries.

Give it to someone that will be able to wear it now....Did you dry it, or did it shrink by washing it?
