The instuctions say that if it did not get soft and stretchy to re-nuetralize.  Maybe you did not follow the instructions to a "T".  If it was nuetralized properly, it should be good to go.

Neutralize it properly and wash in tide and you should get the stretch you need. Been using KT for hundreds of capes with no issues
