The amazing properties of milk, such as moisturizing the skin and softening the wool, can help in this situation thanks to its nutritional properties.

Fill a large basin with milk and immerse your shrunken sweater in it. The amount of milk you will need will depend on the size or number of garments. Leave the sweater in the milk for at least an hour, wring it out, spread it out on a towel and spin it to remove excess moisture.

Finally, place it on a flat surface and pull it up while it's still damp to restore it to its original shape. Now your favorite sweater is ready to keep you warm and comfortable again.
