please ignore the 6

I can't ignore it now you've pointed it out. Hello 6

hang it from the line and invite children to swing on it

stick a full bottle of softener like lenor in a dish of cold water and drop the said item in, leave it for 30 mins and rinse...should be fine

Tug of war?

Have you found the vodka

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

puy yourself on a boil wash and you should fit it

Donate it to Jeanette Krankie

yes but dont tell anyone

aww you do make me lolololol's

I'll wear it for you for a week or two, if you want?

Will that really work ?  

yep honestly

Don't you mean Jeanette Tough, or Wee Jimmy Krankie?

I'm gonna try it tomorrow...   
if I can remember where I hid the sweater

I dunno, I'm not a panto aficionado

But (I digress) what WAS that all about? Hmmm.

Soak the garment in a tub with a mixture of hair conditioner and water. Gently pull the sweater to reshape.

Try another method if that doesn't work: Dissolve one ounce of sodium borate (borax) in a couple of tablespoons of hot water, add the mixture to a gallon of lukewarm water, immerse the garment and pull gently into shape. Rinse in a gallon of warm water with 2 tbsp. vinegar.

Soak the garment in warm water with a mild soap for about 10 minutes to unlock the fibers in the wool. Lay the garment out on some towels in a cool place but don't rinse. You can roll it up in the towel to absorb the excess water.

Then stretch the garment out to its original dimensions. The stretching (also called blocking) pulls the unlocked wool fibers away from one another.

Allow the garment to dry for any of the methods mentioned above.

it does work, just keep dipping it in and out...it brings it back to it's original shape... unless you've shrunk the fecker with petrol

Neither am I, but her mother-in-law is a good friend of my aunt's.

But it's worrying

Reference: Who knows? Never really thought much of them myself. It was supposed to be funny and humourous.

Can you knit shreddies around the edges?

I shouldn't have washed it at all  it was specialist clean only..  I mean, who on earth would buy a jumper that needed to be dry cleaned, well, apart from my husband    

It has ended up a size suitable for my 6 yr old but the wool is all matted and hard.
He's bound to be wanting to wear it as soon as the weather turns a little cooler..so thank you so much for the remedy..

Aye.   But I'd take my husband temperature if he wanted me to wear shorts and a schoolboy cap

hope it works, always has for me

I'd kick mine out if he suggested that to me...

Depends how much its shrunk.

Has it gone really really thick and dense and compact.... like a very posh horse blanket?

if so... it is truely dead.

Step 6 Give the garment to a thin friend and curse them every time they look better in it than you did.

One of the biggest hard hitting shocks of my childhood.... 

what do you mean its a woman... and its his wife?  

.
Well yeah, but if we got to be on Saturday mornings kids telly I might not go so far.  I can be easily bought for a green room breakfast and the chance to meet Gordon The Gopher.

Reference: ditty
