How to stretch a wool sweater

[@soulbot119]

the music adds tension, like if I'm trapped behind enemy lines and I really need to unshrink my sweater

[@CoBrinkmann]

The extra tension from the music is necessary to effectively stretch the sweater

[@desidesigning]

Just love the initial intro where the T shirt 👕 also comes off. And mygoodness the music. Epic.

[@dakotanelson5722]

The most helpful video out of all 45 videos I've watched. Thank you so very much

[@pamelapap]

I saw a couple after you stretch it out don’t drain the water leave it in the water for 30 minutes to an hour. Then rise out the water n let it dry outside. This process worked for me.

Hopefully it will help me.Cause i bought a wrong size ol

[@sandrakael1486]

Thanks very much for sharing this. I recently ruined 2 of my most expensive wool sweaters by washing in the machine. Will try this today once I get home and share my experience.

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

Would love to hear how well it works for you. I had to do this process twice for mine to fit how I wanted it to.

[@HDwonder1]

Did it work ?

@@frankfontaine9974 it did. Needed a 2nd round of stretching. It never got back to its original size but got big enough for me to wear it again.

When you lay sweater out flat; first put a heavy towel on top and blot out more water . Then, stretch out and put heavy objects around edges so that it will not shrink back any at all.

I wash my nordic, Norwegian and aran fisherman sweaters in the machine all the time with great results. #1-use front load machines with no agitator in the middle. #2- use woolite or hair conditioner #3- cold water only #4-wash on delicate cycle #5-"DO NOT PUT IN DRYER" #6-stretch and shape to your liking #7-lay flat or place on rungs of an air dryer ( I have quit a few so I wash several at a time). Take care of your sweaters and they will last a very long time!

[@michaeloates732]

Great video man. Hope it works for me. I like the masculine soundtrack. Also your dog is awesome!

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

I hope so too!

[@flannelflax8078]

i threw a beanie in the wash and turns out it was wool. couldn’t even fit as a mitten lol

[@idontknowyouitseems_4370]

Your dog 🐕 loves the camera :D

[@TheWolf047]

about time I found the right one! I my green wolley shrunk.. thanks

[@steventopping106]

That washing machine sounds a bit rough

[@HikingFeral]

Hey man thanks for sharing. I'm hoping I can just stretch a large out a bit as I'm tall and have got fatter but I've found such a good deal for a large size 40 German pure wool jumper so I'm just going to have at it!

[@ophrasbankaccount7716]

hey did it work out ? the fabric stretched ?

[@artistpw]

Wool and other natural animal fibers will felt with heat, moisture and agitation. Wool also will insulate when wet, unlike cotton or artificial fibers. You can get superwash wool that is treated so it is less likely to felt. I know things like this from crafting. Cashmere comes from goats and it is just about the most effective at insulating. You might find people that like to knit because we love to find victims. To dry items faster, you can also roll in a dry towel and press.

[@iamthraxx]

Thanks I Bought The Wrong Size

[@castelodeossos3947]

Hang the damp sweater on a hanger and it should stretch lengthwise?

[@Luvforalll]

Music is a bit dramatic

[@neringace]

It did not work for me… I was trying stretch so bad… still small

[@subhasri511]

Can we use shampoo instead of conditioner?

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

No, you need the conditioner as it is what loosen up the fibers

[@geoffreycolpitts8163]

Just baby shampoo. Or vinegar or borax. It makes sense - baking soda is a shampoo replacement, but vinegar is a conditioner replacement. This according to wiki-how.

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

@@geoffreycolpitts8163 not sure I want my sweater smelling like vinegar though. Conditioner isnt hard to come by.

[@woolypuffin392]

Thank you!

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

You're welcome!

[@leviliam5702]

Watching this because my mom fucked up my sweater by putting it in the washing machine

[@PMAB8]

Where is the explanation

[@keltz-06]

Thx man

[@jjamo5]

Put mine the the dam washing machine Doooooh,Thanks Ill try you tips!

[@vardellsfolly5200]

A question, if i may. Shall i use the laundry machine to wash it, or i must wash it by hand?

[@caesix]

I highly recommend doing it by hand, and avoiding too hot water. Or if your laundry machine has a mode that's quite short you could do it in the laundry too :)

[@vardellsfolly5200]

@@caesix Another question, if i may and you are kind! Can i increase the length of the sleeves of a not shrunken clothe by using this method?

[@caesix]

@@vardellsfolly5200 haha okay well for some reason my reaction got deleted so here it is again: Tough one! I think it depends on the material. For wool, I think it must be possible but I'm not quite sure if the piece of cloth would end up as nice as it was beforehand. If it's a new piece of cloth you could always return it to the store and get a larger size though. Me myself I just recently bought a new sweater and without thinking for too long I put it in the laundry machine (even on low temperature!). It still had shrunken a bit so that's why I highly recommend washing it by hand from now on

[@caesix]

@@vardellsfolly5200 no problem man!

[@SoundChemist]

you can always take a shower with it, stretch it for perfect fit as its wet on you

[@thesurvivaluniversity]

Thats awesome great idea

[@strawberrysyrup13]

Thanks!!!

[@andyjm7122]

thanks dude, will this work with 100% cotton sweaters too?

[@charactersmoreorthree]

It might, but the reason hair conditioner works on wool is that both hair and wool are made of keratin. Cotton, on the other hand, is a plant fiber, so the properties are different, so I'd do a search to see if it worked before trying.

[@andyjm7122]

@@charactersmoreorthree thanks man, much appreciated

[@myszkis14]

Try to put it wet into the freezer

[@adamb7426]

Excellent!!

[@pranitapatil2609]

In sink🤮

[@fossil-bit8439]

There is an awful lot of disgusting bacteria that is far worse that comes from dirty dishes and food in your sink.

[@HikingFeral]

The water that comes out of Indian taps is far far worse than what's being wring from that jumper.

[@user-yk5xu8gr1e]

[@amberjarvis2492]

I thought this was a joke about the band...

[@rylintaylor4146]

Ugh that seems like so much work I’m just gonna throw it away 😂😂

[@pamelapap]

Give it Salvation Army or make a pillow out of it etc etc. Things don’t just disappear in the dumpster it takes time for it to disintegrate. For example a plastic bags takes 1000 years.

[@rylintaylor4146]

Pamela P wool disintegrates in 4 months but yeah what I meant by throw away was like to goodwill or something

[@LaughingMan44]

The modern mindset. You're pathetic.
