Anyone ever shrink their wifes wool sweater?

[miri]

She just bought this sweater from Banana Republic and wore it once. I was doing laundry and I just grabbed all the dark clothes into one load. I forgot it was wool, now it is all tiny.

Sounds like someone's making a trip to Banana Republic!

No way hehe, I think i will hide it and maybe she will forget about it. The sweater was to expensive for me to buy another.

No, but a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I went to do laundry, I accidentally threw her beige-colored silk Ann Taylor blouse in the dryer and it came out mustard-colored...I thought it was funny...she didn't seem amused :laugh: I had to make it up with a Coach purse (I wasn't amused after that one)

just tell her it will look sexier on her and is now a MUCH tighter shirt

This makes me wonder what happens to sheep when it rains ?

 

[pulse8]

Is it the washing or the drying that shrinks it?

 

[Beau]

yes. Got cut off for a week

I've learned my lesson.

Drying with heat.

It's ok to tumble dry with no heat, but it's best to hang dry.

That's what I figured.

So the whole sheep in the rain thing doesn't make sense, but I bet if you stuck one in the dryer afterwards it'd be interesting.

Tell her to lose some weight and see how that goes over!

No good can come from hiding the evidence. Better to just fess up.

yeah, either way, you are gonna spend money somehow..... so just replace so she does not with hold stuff from you.

On a positive note, she may never ask you to do the laundry again.

At least that's how I got out of laundry duty

I don't have to do the laundry anymore.

Now I have to fold the clothes.

 

[Bryophyte]

My spouse has done that to almost every nice shirt/sweater/blouse I own (and I don't own very many clothes that aren't jeans or t-shirts). I've asked him to just stop and think "is this hers and not a t-shirt?" and to not mess with it if it is something other than a t-shirt. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you look at it), I don't have to worry about this more than a couple times a year.

 

[cthulhu]

Yes, I have and never hear the end of it. I've got to where I don't dry any pants or shirts of hers. I let her deal with them. If she did laundry more often, this wouldn't be an issue.
