Remove the pills using a razor o Having pills is the inevitable future of all kinds of sweaters. This happens because of the constant friction. Pills are prominent under the armpits and on the sleeves. Yet, this does not spare the rest of the sweater. Once you see even a few pills, make sure to remove it. Place your sweater on top of a flat surface and shave the pills using a razor. Never pull them. It will only get worse. Tuck the snags in o Sweater snags are loose threads that come out of the sweater. What you can do is tuck those sweaters snag inside. Flip your sweater inside out then grab a crochet hook or a hairpin. From the same thread, hook the snag and be careful in pulling it until it’s inside. Proper Hand-wash o There are a few types of materials that need a gentler approach when washing. One of which are sweaters. Hand washing sweaters will extend its shelf life and keep the fabric from stretching. To hand-wash, soak your sweater in cool water with some gentle detergent for 30 minutes. Rinse it with cool water as well and be gentle in squeezing the water out. Then lay it flat on a rack to dry. Store after the cold season o You cannot wear sweaters during the summer season. It can also take a lot of space because of its thick and chunky material. When storing sweaters, make sure that it’s clean. Put them in a breathable storage bag. Also, you can toss in some lavender to prevent bugs and keep the sweaters fresh. Don’t put them in a vacuum-sealed bag because it can lock in moisture. This will cause yellowing or molds. Never hang, fold o The golden rule for sweater care is never to hang them. When you hang your sweater, it can stretch. You’ll also see hang marks in the sleeves. Fold or roll them before putting it inside your drawers. If you need to hang it, fold it over the hanger and place a tissue paper underneath to prevent creasing.
