Not that I know of, once wool is shrunk, it's shrunk. Sorry. That is why wool shouldn't be washed, it should be dry cleaned.

no be counted if it particularly is now not too badly gotten smaller (looks like felt), you could rinse it in cool water with some fabric softener further. enable is soak an hour or so. Then gently wring it out and lay it on a table on a towel. initiate pulling on the seams first then on the sleeves then physique. Pull gently and artwork the wool to the needed length then enable it dry. you would be able to ought to pull in stages as all the shrinkage won't come back in a single flow. to end the approach, iron on the wool putting utilising quite some steam yet now not putting the iron too stressful on the sweater. artwork the steamy iron interior the path you want to stretch and then as quickly as stretched, enable it cool off beforehand shifting to the subsequent lay. a reliable drycleaner can try this extra effective than you could at homestead because of the fact they have steaming kit and might stretch clothing utilising specialist innovations.

Can be stretched but wont look nice any more. Moisture ironing with simultaneous stretching jerks will enlarge that.
