shrunken woolies

[Shanaynay]

Hello :crying:
I accidentally put our fave woolies in the normal wash with clothes and now they are tiny :(
Does anyone know if I can fix them at all? Or are they destined to live on a Cabbage Patch doll from now on? :crying:

If they're not tooo bad you might try a slathering of hair conditioner and stretching them out.

But usually once you have shrunk and felted wool theres no going back....Sorry:no:

ohh no advice but maybe try stretch them a little when wet.

Otherwise you are going to have one very lucky cabbage patch doll

Or can be used on the next baby? :baby:

I read somewhere you can try soaking in epsom salts and gently stretching the fabric out. You may have to do it several times and if the garment has well and truly felted it probably won't work. I have never tried it, but at this stage it can do no harm to give it a go.
Good luck

Oh **** :crying:
Yep they are well and truly felted.
May fit a newborn girl, probably would :(
