I did this for a wool sweater that accidentally went through the dryer and it worked marvelously!
1. Fill a sink with cold water (should be cold but not FREEZING cold) and add a capful of baby shampoo or adult condition into the water.
2. Let the item soak in the water and gently work it through. This will relax the fibers in the clothing.
3. Remove the garment from the water and gently squeeze it out. Do NOT rinse it.
4. Take a large towel and lay the clothing flat on it.
5. Roll the towel up with the clothing inside it.
6. Wait until the clothing is damp. Your goal is to absorb the extra moisture.

7. Then, get another dry towel and put the piece of clothing out on the dry towel.
8. Gently stretch the clothing item as it lays out to dry.
9. Continue to do this until the clothing item returns to its original size. Allow the item to air dry on the towel.
