Answer 8

Next time, your friend asks to borrow. Tell her it is for sale, and then ask for a price that is more than you paid for. Depending on what kind of sweater it is, Have it dry cleaned and send her the bill. Acrylics will wash well , I am not sure about shrinkage. cotton will shrink in the dryer. Check with the Dry cleaner.
