laundry fail

Today (just now, in fact) I learned that not all Smartwool is superwash wool. My favorite sweater ever isn't, for example. Blarghaladharaeraa34ar*headdesk*.

I seem to recall that if you soak it in a bottle of the cheapest conditioner you can find, you can un-felt it.

Good to know. It already had a lightly felted texture, so it just felted more, and shrank. Stretching it seems to work, but not very well. I might do that. I'm so annoyed -- it wasn't cheap, and they still make them, so I COULD buy another but I feel like a tool.

I figure it's trashed now...might as well give it a try. Worst case you're stuck buying a new one, anyway.

Bleah, I hate buying clothes SO MUCH :( Not to mention having to replace things I trash out of being dumb.

I know...I hate buying clothes, too.

And I just bought some new shirts because I was down to a rotation of 4 tops I was wearing to work... everything else is old and looks trashed. And now this is trashed too. ARGH.
