I had the same experience.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-ruined#post-2016982 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 00:16:14 +0000 Carla 2016982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happened to me when I washed DS#2's Uniqlo puffer. Thought I ruined it. Turned out the down just wasn't dry enough. Half an hour later and afterwards hanging it upside down and whacking a few times with a plastic hanger. Good as new! I've washed it again recently with good results. Crisis averted!</p> <p>I'm going to add dryer balls to my laundry room repertoire. Great tip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-ruined#post-2016979 Sun, 31 Mar 2019 23:54:40 +0000 Lucy 2016979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great outcome thanks to the forum!

I discovered this a couple of years ago with a down comforter and it came in handy when I had some trepidation over washing my Canada Goose Down jacket.

I tried putting it in the dryer to breakup the clumps. &nbsp;No luck. &nbsp;</p> <p>What did I do wrong? &nbsp; </p>
