Not a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unshrink-wool#post-1204581 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:33:32 +0000 shopaholic 1204581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had luck too. Did you wash in a machine? Because the agitation shrinks it into felt basically. The best you can hope for is soaking and stretching as much as possible. Sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unshrink-wool#post-1204578 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:32:40 +0000 Pepper 1204578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hate when that happens.

Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unshrink-wool#post-1204558 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:27:16 +0000 lamariniere 1204558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a pair of wool baby leggings today and washed them (but not dried), not thinking. They have shrunk quite a bit. Does anyone have a sure fire way to unshrink or stretch them? I've already googled and most sites say to soak in hair conditioner and then restretch, but that doesn't seem to be working very well. I would hate to have to toss them since I just bought them. </p>
