un-shrink my new jumper

[fairyfairy]

I have a lovely loose knit cream jumper - only worn it once - which was accidentally washed too hot, does anyone know how to un-shrink this, or loosen the wool again? I've heard you can use borax, but I'm not sure what this is or how to use it.

I am sorry but I think it is a dead jumper .....

It is an ex jumper.

I did the same thing yesterday with my husbands cashmere jumper. I didn't realise it was in the wash bin and put it on a 40 deg wash. I hope he doesn't realise it's missing for a while.

maggie01, try nailing it to a hanger he may not notice that it's popped its mortal coil.
