oh bother

[askye]

I washed some sweaters last night and threw them in the dryer but didn't put it on delicate.

They shrank slightly so they are too short and the sleeves are short.

Is there anyway to stretch them out?

These are brand new sweaters I've only worn once or twice so it's annoying.

It depends on what they're made of. You might try, with one of them, getting it wet and stuffing it with something to make it stretch out, pulling on the arms, hanging it up so the weight of the wet material stretches them. That has worked for me sometimes with things that were partly wool.

If you get any other replies then please let me know! My favourite cardigan shrank in the wash and I'm crying tears of blood about it.
