Unshrink your woolen items this winter

Winter is clearly creeping in and as we say brrrr we tend to panic as every season is costly. Worry no further because I have tips on how you remain stylish and brand new at almost no cost.

Most of us have had the expireince of accidentally washing wool jerseys in a way that they end up getting damaged. When wool gets wet and warm, the fibers lock together resulting in shrinkage. Meaning you have one less jersey in your carboard. This is soon to change as i have found a solution to getting your jersey back to its original size. Sounds impossible?  Read on...

You will need:
Tubs
Hair conditioner
Sodium borate
Viniger
Towel   

Step 1

Soak your jersey in conditioner and gently pull the sweater to reshape it.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Leave your jersy to dry. Once dry it it ready to be warn.

My personal advice to you is not to tumble dry your wooolie items or use excessive heat.

Thats your style for less.
