It needs to be shrunk quite a lot. Will putting it in the dryer work?

  1. put it in the drier about 3 times. hope it works.


  2. Unfortunately, most wool yarns are treated to be "shrink resistant" so I'm not sure how much luck you will have. Acrylic would shrink on it's own by washing in hot water and putting through the dryer, but the blend with the wool might pose some problems for you.

    Perhaps you should just consider buying another one - in the correct size?
