Merino Wool
Posted on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 at 7:34 amhow to enlarge merino wool sweaters?
Hey everyone, recently my mother gave me a lovely collared sweater that is 100% merino wool from macys (the brand is Polo Ralph Lauren). The problem is, its two sizes too small! She got a medium by accident, when i am really an extra large. And she lost the receipt too! Is there any way to make it bigger?
Thanks for the help
Yes. Merino wool sweaters are meant to be flat dryed or dry cleaned only because if they're hung dry, they'll stretch.
But because you want it stretched, simply wash it in the washing machine (or hand wash it in the tub/sink NO SOAP, only room temp. water), then hang dry it. (Take a hanger and hang it up, if you don't have a way to do that, use a clothes hanger and hang it off of the window shade beam)
After it's up there, you can pull it (LIGHTLY) and allow it to slowly dry and stretch.
