Terrible event.

While dressing for a night out in Jacksonville I discovered that my stripey jumper has gone baggy in the wash. This is a disaster and has utterly soiled my trip so far. I expect the ship will have her colours at half mast tomorrow.
Does anyone know a way to re shrink a jumper gone baggy? It is polyacryllic or some such.

Sorry mate. I'm going to have to tell you that it's ******.

Acrylic never goes back. Chances are it went in on more than 40 degrees in the wash.
My ex cooked a sweater of mine at 60+
I'd only worn it once before that

Suggest you put it out of sight/its misery as it will only cause you distress every time you see it.
Becoming an oily rag is an ignominious end for any item of clothing....
