i have a Hand Knitted jumper thats too big, can I shrink it?
A friend knitted me a jumper for my birthday but its really too big and I was wondering if there was a way to shrink it ? Perhaps by soaking it in boiling water? Any suggetions? I really appriciate my friend knitting it for me and apart from being too big I really like it!
It depends on what kind of yarn she used. If she used wool, then wool will shrink. If it's a blend or not wool, it may not shrink.
Even if it is wool, shrinking it will be a dodgy proposition and there's no guarantee the garment will shrink to the proportions you want.
Is there any chance you can alter using regular sewing methods? A dart or a gather here and there?
Wear it with a belt? If you post a picture of the jumper, that may make it easier for people to give advice.
Good luck
