Keep Your Winter Outerwear New With These Tips

Comfy knits are one of the season's top fashion trends. The oversized or fitted outerwear made from wool or cashmere is the most-liked by women in winter. Many women don't know how to take care of sweaters or cardigans to keep them in good condition.

Unlike basic tees or women pants, it's not that difficult to take care of sweaters. The proper care can prevent the issues such as damage, fade, and shrink from happening. Consider the following factors to keep your winter outwear in prime condition.

Limit Washes

Over-washing a knit causes shrinkage and fading. Most fashion experts agree to wash these clothes even when necessary. When you put a sweater over a tank top or shirt, make sure to wash it every few years. In case a sweater becomes dirty or stained, it's the right time to get it wash.

How To Wash?

Many women prefer to dry-clean their sweaters, but it’s not necessary. The right way to wash sweaters is by hand using cool water and a mild detergent. To remove any stains, just leave the sweater submerged completely for half an hour and then rinse clean. Squeeze the sweater gently to remove extra water and let it dry. For most sweaters, a gentle machine wash will be fine. Try to avoid machine drying, as it can cause shrinkage.

Damage Control

When the sweater snags, pull gently on fabric to loosen the snag. Use a needle to push the snagged yarn through to the other side. If possible, weave the snagged piece of string through the knit a couple of times to keep it in place.

Get Rid Of Pills

As you don’t need to wash sweaters after each wear, it’s a good idea to remove pills. You can buy brushes, but there are some easy ways to get rid of them with simple items you have at home. Try lightly running a disposable razor over areas where pills form. Brushing them with pumice stones and using the sticky side of tape are also effective methods.
