Woollen jumper problem

    I was wondering whether anyone has any solution to my jumper problem.

    The issue is that the bottom part at the waist has become too loose on what is an otherwise well-fitting jumper. Is there any way to fix this?

    This has happend a lot of my jumpers too, I just accepted it as an inevitability.
    Would be great to know how to repair them.

    What type of wool is it? It could be a number of things. Anything made of wool that is labelled "machine washable" means the fibre has been very aggressively treated in order that it does not pile up or felt in washing machines. As a result the wool will have lost its natural elasticity and become baggy and shapeless.

    I advise you in future to stick to only handwash woollens, avoid stuff marked superwash' etc., in order to maintain the condition of the garment you must be prepared to handwash it, and dry it flat away from direct heat.

    The label states 'machine washable in wool program'. 80% lamb wool 20% Polyamide. I have machine washed it before in the wool program and using Woolite. It's very comfortable & soft and I really like it, except for the bottom trim having become too loose!

    I'm afraid that there's no solution I know to this. See my advice above to avoid this happening in the future.
