How can you relax a shrunken wool sweater?  Can it be saved?

probably not, but you can try.  wash it again in lukewarm water and use a lot of fabric softener. while it is still wet, start trying to stretch it, gently.  see how far you can gradually stretch it without pulling it completely out of shape, and then air dry flat.

Hi there,\n\nNot sure if this will help, but it's a "baby" ripple afghan.  Thought that might help with the stitch and you could just increase the amount of yarn?\nhttp://www.coatsandclark.com/fun_and_free/knit_out_2003/lw1279.htm

Since, in those days the sweaters were made with wool, I am sure if you draw the pattern for her, your grandmother could knit one for you.\n\nMake sure she uses #6 needles.

Try Windex and a soft paper towel.

wash it in hair conditioner, no soap.  While wet, pull out to original size and lay flat to dry.

Combination of two things, store the glove in a warm dry place with a ball in the glove. Coat the glove every few days with Mink Oil. The other thing is to just plain use it. How will it fit to your hand if you don't use it?

Ther isn't really anything you can do unless you have got a thin plstic sheet covering the tops of your skis (it is almost invisible). If you've got this you should take the skis to a ski shop where they will replace them for you. If you haven't got this sheet thn I'm afraid your stuffed. Anyway. it shouldn't really make any difference if the tops of the skis are scratched, it only damages them aestheticly.

If the quality of your packaging is not too important to you, then I would suggest the shrinkwrap and a hair dryer with some double sided tape.  Otherwise, look through Ebay and see if you can find some cheaper solution to what you are currently using.

Depends on the fabric that you are trying to shrink.\n\nCotton: \n\nHot Water. I remember back in the '80s when I was in Middle School of stories of girls buying jeans and then wearing them in bathtubs of hot water for them to shrink around their body... I also know that I've thrown away a lot of t-shirts because they have shrunk.\n\nYou will notice that a lot of cotton garments now say pre-shrunk. That simply means they have been pre-washed.\n\nWool:\n\nAny type of water will shrink wool and the reason why wool products are dry-clean only.\n\nPolyester/Nylon/Microfiber/etc.\n\nThese are man-made fibers that are essentially plastic. They will not shrink, in fact hot water or hot air from a dryer can make them essentially melt which gives that 1960's glimmer or sheen to them. It is advised when flying on an airplane to wear cotton and not poly in case of emergency.\n\nSilk:\n\nSilk is a natural fiber but is weakened by water and eventually will desinegragte and again is another fibre that is dry-clean only.

Get a lawyer before your underwear starts to shrink as well.  \n\nYou don't want to go around with an Atomic Wedgie 24-7

No, but I would knit it a sweater.

Most tailor or alteration shops will do the small numbers for about $3 each, the large numbers for $6 each, and the name for about $4.\n\nIf you want to DIY, then get maroon and blue (if it's an away sweater, then white) heavy nylon thread.  This stuff kinda looks like 12 lbs test and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Joann's.  It'll take a while, but go around everything twice.  If it's something you'll only wear twice a month, then one pass should do the trick.\n\nIf you're all thumbs, then get some fabric glue.  As long as you don't wash it in hot water, it shouldn't come off.\n\nLet's go WI-LD!!\n\nGood Luck

by hand with a mild dishwashing soap or by hand with a capful of woolite
