Your best sweater can stay warm and soft for many winters. Learn five easy habits that protect it.
Do you have a wool sweater you love? You can keep it soft for many years. It is easy. Just follow these steps.
1. Always read the label first. Some sweaters need a dry cleaner. Most wool sweaters are fine at home.
2. Wash it by hand in cool water. Never use hot water. Hot water often makes wool small and hard.
3. Use a little soap for wool. Don't rub the sweater. Just press it slowly in the water.
4. Never hang a wet sweater. It usually gets long and loses its shape. Lay it flat on a towel to dry.
5. Keep it in a drawer. Sometimes put a little lavender next to it. Moths don't like the smell.
Follow these steps and your sweater can stay soft for ten winters or more. You will rarely need a new one.
