Stretching wool
Stretching wool
OK, so I got my Dale of Norway sweater off of Facebook marketplace so I can ski just like Telehiro and gain acceptance from peers on telemark forums. Because this is important. So anyways, my sweater rides a little high, how do I stretch it? Wash and hang? Manually stretch? Iron? Halp

Re: Stretching wool
The process is called “Blocking.”
All sorts of How-Tos on the Internet or YouTube videos.
Basic steps are to: wet the garment, lay it out to the shape you want, and let it dry — but, look it up for full details.
Then you will have my full admiration!

Re: Stretching wool
Ugh. Of course it's called "blocking". So triggering! I imagine it's as much of an art form as the pole plant. Is there forums?
