I Successfully Stretched a Shrunk Sweater

I was able to stretch my sweater! My thrifted new-to-me 100% cotton sweater ended up in the dryer and shrank down to kid size. I washed it again and was able to stretch it out! Success! If I couldn’t fix it, I was going to reduce the arm length down for my son since it fit him…

Wash it on gentle/cold, and stretch it over a trash bag on your widest chair. The trash bag will protect the wood or fabric from the wet sweater. Let the sweater completely dry and it should be wider!
