My knit has stretched or shrunk, help!

If your knit has become stretched

One method that may help to tighten up your knit, is to wash it on a 30-degree gentle cycle. If this doesn't help, it may help to try washing it at a slightly higher temperature.

Another method is to put the knit in a tumble dryer on a low/medium setting for a few minutes. Continuously check on the knit while it's in the tumble dryer.

Please wash and dry your knit responsibly if you try these methods.

If your knit has become shrunk

One method that may help to resize your knit is to add two tablespoons of fabric softener to a container of warm water and let your knit sit in the container for around 20-30 minutes.

After your knit has sat for a while, gently roll out the water as you would do like a normal wash.

While the knit is still damp, gently hand stretch it to your desired shape and leave it to dry on a towel flat.

Please wash and dry your knit responsibly if you try this method.

Our Care Guarantee covers a lot of bases in case anything needs putting right again with your sweater.
