try hand washing it in really cool water
then soak it in loads of softener
when you've rinsed it, lay it out flat. try to get it roughly back to its old shape by stretching it and putting weights on it.

that sometimes works if the shrinking wasn't too bad in the first place. but its likely that they're buggered

you really shouldn't be putting any woolen items in the washing machine miss scarlet! they'll live a lot longer if you hand wash them.

Wash them in warmish water to open the fibres, then hang them to dry. Repeat, hanging from each angle so they stretch equally. Depending on how much they've shrunk it might or might not work.

I had a lovely jumper and a vintage polo dress both with a large percentage of wool. Both fucked in the wash They didnt feel or look wool and I never looked at the care label. I feel your pain.
