Knitted sweaters are comfortable and warm, but they require a little extra care to keep their shape and color longer. With a few simple routines, you can make your favorites last longer and avoid pilling, shrinkage, and wear.
Wash properly
Knitwear should be washed according to the care label. For hand washing, use lukewarm water and mild soap or a gentle detergent that does not abrade the fibers. If machine washing, select a gentle cycle and place the garment in a laundry bag to reduce friction.
Dry gently
Avoid hanging knitwear on a hanger, as this can stretch the garment. Instead, lay the sweater flat on a towel and shape it to its original size.
Prevent pimples and wear
Use a pilling remover or clothes brush to keep your garment looking nice. Remove pilling carefully and avoid pulling on the fabric. At Knapppålen you will find products that help you keep knitted sweaters in top condition.
Storage between seasons
Always fold knitwear and store them in boxes or shelves. Avoid packing them too tightly, as this can cause wrinkles and deformation.
💡 Tip from Oscar: Roll the sweater instead of folding it when storing many garments together – it saves space and preserves the shape better.
