I just bought a sweater that shrank on me in the dryer...not to the point of where I can't wear it but I like my sweaters a bit "beefy" if there's a word for it. As it stands now its a little to cramped for my tastes...any ideas would be appreciated.

Wonka Vision yourself........

DeLorean+a flux capacitor+88mph = unshrunk sweaters.

 

[ummbikes]

The sweater strechers are right next to the egg-descramblers.

 

[BigMike]

buy a new one

 

[binary visions]

any ideas would be appreciated.

My idea would be to not put sweaters that you don't want to shrink in the dryer

 

[BurlyShirley]

dry it in reverse.

 

[Skookum]

Don't eat for a week and smoke alot of crack. My suggestion is the most practical.

If you find the answer to this question you will be a very rich man

Positive mental attitude will get it where it needs to be.

If it doesn't, you just weren't positive enough.

If you were to smoke some crystal meth instead. You wouldn't even need a sweater.....jdcamb

You should probably use a politically correct term like "dwarf" or "elf" as to not offend any munchkins.......

Get the sweater wet again by running it through rinse / spin cycle in the washing machine. Take it out, lay it flat on a towel, and gently stretch the fabric until it's back to normal size. Lay another towel on top, and try to soak up more of the moisture from the sweater. After a few hours, go back and stretch it again just a little more, and replace the bottom towel with a new, dry one. Weight the shoulders cuffs and shirt-tail corners with something fairly heavy (like a rock or book...but make it a clean rock or a book you don't mind ruining with water). Let the sweater air dry like this.

By "small" I meant me. I am always up for free stuff. I thought elves were tall?

That was not a real elf. It was just Will Ferrell playing one.

When I first got married, the wife asked me to do some laundry. I was like okay no problem. I throw the clothes in the washer, then in the dryer. That's what I've always done. Well apparently there was this shirt in there that I was suppose to just lay flat and air dry. Needless to say it wouldn't even fit an elf. She was so pissed but it was funny at the same time.

 

[El Jefe]

Good job

Well, I've had a laundry related accident or two in my lifetime.

Wait, that didn't sound so good...

 

[Wingnut]

You could always get a real large person to wear said sweater for a week, then it will be returned to the correct size, or possibly bigger..

Elves are small........don't you collect Magic the Gathering cards??????

Usually clothes have this little tag sewn in them somewhere. They usually provide fairly detailed cleaning instructions......... HTH.

Poor guy - first his sweater shrinks and now you call him a dumbass.

There was a notice on the tag that said..."best results if dripped dry" In normal guy fashion I interpreted that to mean "its alright to put in dryer you just won't get the best results". Yeah.....we all saw how well that worked.

Turns out best results means "remains the same size" in this case.
