So this isn’t really tech related, but I’m a guy and not a very bright one at that. Last week a bought a new sweater, wore it out over the weekend and had to wash it. I of-course ignored the dry-clean only label and my brother’s warning and threw it in with the rest of the clothes. The result is that it was about 3 times smaller. Luckily I took to the Internet and found this awesome site, detailing how to un-shrink the sweater.

1. Soak the sweater in warm water with a mild soap for about 10 minutes.
2. Lay the garment out on some towels in a cool place (I hung it up on a hanger).
3. Stretch the sweater out to its original size.
4. Allow it to dry.

The website explains in a little more detail the whys, but I tried this and it worked. If you try it, good luck! Let us know in the comments if it works. Other tips are also welcomed!
