So in today's blog we're going to talk about how to store chunky knits until next winter, how to repurpose leftovers in your wardrobe and lots of other tips to help you take care of your knitwear.

Care instructions for spring thin knitwear

    • If your knitted sweater or dress is long and heavy, it is best to store it folded on the shelf.
      Because if you hang it for a long time, the upper part may stretch too much and lose it Original original form. Protect the garment so that the weight of the knit does not stress the stitches, the fabric itself, and this does not cause the fabric to relax around the hanger.
    • If you can't find a place for your sweaters on the shelf, go for cashmere and/or cotton knits to hang on the hanger, as they are relatively light and retain their original appearance even when lying horizontally.
    • The best hanger for heavy clothes should be: wooden, thick and curved. This form will help the garment to maintain its original condition.

Instructions for storing thick knitted winter clothes

Keep these rules in mind if you hope to have your collection of thick knits next winter and will be happy to wear them. We have put together some top tips to help you keep them from getting damaged during this period.

    • You are making a mistake if you fold freshly washed knitwear and put it in the closet for storage. It is necessary to make sure that it is perfectly dry and not even damp. Don't forget, humidity will affect the condition and quality of stored clothes.
    • Remember that frequent exposure to direct sunlight will cause fabric to fade and change its color unfavorably. Try to protect the stored item from this incident and place it in the right corner of the room.
    • Additionally, it's best to use paper between folded clothes to separate them from each other and keep the different fabrics from touching and potentially affecting each other.
With the above tips, you will become an expert in seasonal clothing storage. You'll also find that when you take your knitwear out of storage, it's ready to wear without any extra care.

How should you behave so that your favorite sweater does not surprise you?

There is nothing worse than creasing a favorite garment, as knits often suffer from warping, uniform pilling, and pilling.

When the textile fibers break down, small bubbles of fabric are formed, which completely spoils the look of our clothes. This is the result of its daily wear and use. Pimples tend to appear in woven fabrics where clothing most often rubs against your skin (for women, under the arm or elbow) or touches another layer of fabric (for example, a jacket or coat).

As a rule, this process worsens and becomes even more noticeable after washing, because the arbitrary washing mode of the washing machine will further damage the broken fibers. Both natural and synthetic fabrics are prone to this process, so the best way to protect them is to:

    • Washing clothes from inside shoulder by hand
    • Wash only with a delicate, liquid detergent
    • Washing is allowed only when necessary and not after every use.
    • Pay attention to what you wear with knitwear, for example if you combine a sweater with a rough denim jacket, it will definitely have a negative effect on it.
    • Do not attempt to remove lint by hand, as this process will further damage the fabric fibers.

Unlike other knits, acrylic is machine washable, but keep these extra tips in mind:

    • Turn the washed clothes over and wash them inside out.
    • Do not use fabric softener as it will make the fibers of the knit even more sensitive.
    • Be sure to use a gentle/delicate wash cycle

That is why, for your greater comfort, BLACK is often lined with an acrylic composition of knitted fabric:

    How to dry knitted correctly?

      • Do not use any dryers or artificial agents to accelerate the compaction of the woven fibers and the release of lint.
      • Avoid direct sunlight to protect the fabric from fading.
      • The best way to dry knitwear is at natural temperature

    How to iron knitted?
