Merino Wool Sweater
I recently washed my new 100% merino wool sweater and it shrunk considerably. It said to hand wash cold, reshape and lay out to dry. I put it in my washing machine (I have an HE front loading washer) on handwash cold and then in the dryer at the "no heat" selection. My question is, does wool actually shrink or will it reshape after another wash (I hand washed it and layed it out after I found out it shrunk).
Thanks

no sorry it will not go back to normal. you should of never dried it..the motion made it shrink.

You shouldn't have put it in the dryer. It isn't going back to how it was. Washing it again will only be more detrimental.

wool actually shrinks if it's bothered enough to do so. congratulations on your new teeny tiny thick sweater. next time you should follow the directions on the tag. it's not the temperature that makes wool shrink, it's the vigorous motion primarily. there's nothing you can do.
