I have a standard hooded jumper. Its a tad too big and I would like to shrink it slightly. The top also has a rubber motif/design on the front (small) and on the back (large) I have been told to stick in the tuble dryer. Will this work? If so, how do I stop the motif melting or rubbing off in the heat? Is there anopther way to shrink clothes slightly??

shame its not made of pure new wool. my Mrs could make it small enough to fit a new born baby !


tumble dryer could do the trick, give it a go. you got nothing to loose.

i would be wearie with using the tumble dryer as clothes that ive acidently srunk in there usually srink upwards, but go wider. It that makes sense.
It depends what it�s made of. Natural materials tend to shrink more than man made. I think a hotter water wash would be a safer thing to try than the tumble drier.
My Mum always used to shrink my shirts and t-shirts. She'd always say that I must have put on weight!! lol "But Mum, if I put on weight how come my sleeves 3 inches shorter?" :)
