Brini swishing the sweater through the conditioner bath

 

Brini with Liddy, are director, Bradley Meyer’s puppy
Why Didn't You Think of that

Did that sweater accidentally get tossed into the wash? If it's the perfect size for a pygmy don't worry - all is not lost.

Mix together 1/4 cup hair conditioner to 1 cup warm water. Immerse your sweater in the warm conditioner bath and work the conditioner into the sweater. Rinse the sweater in a bath of cold water with 1 or 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Squeeze out the excess water, then roll in a towel and press down firmly to remove more water. Unroll and lay the sweater out on a clean fiberglass screen to dry. Stretch it out to its original size and let it dry naturally.

If this doesn't work, you can cut off the sleeves to make a poor-boy vest or refashion it into a darling look for your pooch.
