It is possible to un-shrink woollen garments which have suffered a mishap during the wash. Dissolve 90 g [ about 3 tablespoons] of Epsom salts in boiling water.Add sufficient water to make it lukewarm and to cover the garment.Soak the garment in the solution for half an hour, then squeeze out the excess water. Lie it flat on a towel and stretch the garment to its correct size and shape. When almost dry, wring out a cloth in cold water. Cover the garment with the cloth, and iron. Leave it flat to dry and set.
