How to restore the elasticity of a woolen hat? What should I do if the woolen hat becomes looser the more I wear it?

Due to the special material of woolen hats, you must be careful when wearing and washing them. Woolen hats will become loose after wearing for a long time and slowly lose their elasticity. This is irreversible and cannot be restored. You can only buy another one.

The problem of woolen hats becoming loose and losing their elasticity is generally caused by the material problem of the woolen hat. The looseness and loss of elasticity of the woolen hat is irreversible. All we can do is to pay attention to it during use. When cleaning the woolen hat, be careful not to use it too much and dry it flat in a ventilated environment without strong sunlight.

Method 1: Soak in warm water. Soak the woolen hat in warm water at 30℃-50℃, or steam it in a pot for 20 minutes, let it slowly recover its shape, and then put it in cold water to fix it. Finally, remember not to wring it dry when drying it, but lay it flat to dry. If it is not ideal, use a hair dryer to blow it in the desired shape while supporting it, and be careful not to burn it.

Method 2: Use a steam iron. Place the steam iron about two centimeters above the hat with one hand to let the steam soften the fibers, then use your other hand to reshape the hat. By using both hands, the hat will return to its original state with tighter fibers.

Note: When drying woolen hats in the sun, it is best to lay them flat to avoid them getting bigger and longer.

The reason why the hat has many wrinkles is because we store it or wash it. So if we want to avoid this situation, we must solve it fundamentally. If it is the former, we store the hat and put it alone. If it is the latter, we can put the hat in a laundry net bag for washing, and then spread it out to dry after washing to avoid it.

A knitted hat that is too small is very uncomfortable to wear and it is very tight on the head. In fact, if a knitted hat is too small, it will become loose if you wear it more often, but it takes a certain amount of time. The wool will become worn due to friction caused by people's movement, so it will also expand and become loose over time.
