Does anyone know how to stretch woolen sweaters?
I put mine into the dryer to felt, but completely forgot that it would shrink like crazy too.

I'm an idiot.
Anyways I heard somewhere you can stretch shrunken wool sweaters and wondering how to do it.

There's not a heck of a lot you can do depending on how felted it is. If it only shrank an inch or so, you can wet it with hot water and stretch the living daylights out of it, but if it's much more than that, you're kinda just stuck with a teeny sweater. My recomendation if that's the case... cut it up and make a purse.
