Knitter's Review
September 25, 2014
the alleged miracle worker

We've all done it at least once. A beautiful wool sweater, a hat, or a pair of socks got thrown into the washing machine by mistake. What emerged was a shrunken tragedy.

A new product from Massachusetts claims to be able to unshrink those accidents, to revive those damaged garments and to make our closets whole again.

I had my doubts, so I ordered a bottle and sacrificed a sweater for the test.

Coming Up
This weekend in Canby, Oregon, the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival celebrates its 18th anniversary. Not to be outdone, on October 4th, the Lambtown USA Fiber Fair swings into its 28th year in Dixon, California. These and hundreds more can be found on our calendar of upcoming events.
