I have a very nice 100% lambswool jumper. However, it was not washed properly by a family member and shrunk. Fortunately it was quite roomy to begin with but is just that little bit too tight now. I was wondering if there were any tricks, tips or techniques on how to ever-so-slightly reverse the effects of this favourite jumper being shrunk?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!"

Once lambswool has been shrunk, there is no way of reversing the process. You can wet it and pull but you will never get the original shape back. Lambswool should be dry cleaned only.
