I got my new pair of Munky Ciao's today and I love, love, love them, but they are tight just under the waist. I really have to pull to get them on. Will this stretch and ruin the wool or will it help get them stretched out to fit?I'm

right now! Everything else fits perfectly. Just a half inch area all the way around.

It's not a problem... you just shouldn't stretch/wring *wet* wool

If they're a soft wool they will stretch out over time anyway

I bet I can adjust that if that's the only part that's too tight.
