Merino Wool
I mistakenly felted/matted my merino wool poncho by washing it in the machine. Is there any way to fix it?
it is now slightly smaller & stiffer, not soft as when I first knitted it.
The only answer I have ever had to this one (and I tried it on a wool scarf) is to soak the item in cool water in a bucket to which you have added a bottle of liquid fabric softener. Swish it around and let it soak over night. Gently wring it and then pull it gently back to size. You may need a friend. Let it dry once it is back to size then just wash it again on cool water and delicate cycle to get the softener out. Repeat to pull it the rest of the way if possible. If it really feels like felt, don't bother.
