The autumn wind brings bursts of coolness, and a sweater is just enough for the coming cold weather. A good sweater should be soft and comfortable, not irritating to the skin, and a good sweater should also be generous and timeless.
Then to choose a good quality sweater, you need to know the material of the sweater and their characteristics. Let's take a look.
1. Cashmere sweater
From the perspective of warmth retention, cashmere is the most commonly used sweater fabric. It has excellent warmth retention. Cashmere sweaters are not easy to pilling, but sometimes shrink.
A sheep wool sweater is a sweater made from the fleece of sheep. Relatively speaking, the sweater of this material is very safe, has no irritation, and has a good skin-friendly effect.
2. Silk sweater
100% mulberry silk sweater is still relatively warm, because mulberry silk sweater, this kind of fabric, itself plays a role of keeping warm and more comfortable, so 100% mulberry silk sweater is relatively warm.
The silk sweater is also very comfortable to wear and has an excellent thermal insulation effect. Wool blends are also divided into worsted and woollen. Wool blended fabrics will start to ball, and there will be no problem if you pay attention to them when washing. It is best to use dry cleaning.
3. Chemical fiber sweater
Chemical fiber fabrics are pure spinning, blended or interwoven fabrics processed from chemical fibers, which belong to chemical fiber fabrics. Chemical fiber fabrics can be divided into regenerated fibers and synthetic fibers according to the source of raw materials.
Regenerated fibers can be divided into regenerated cellulose fibers, also called rayon. Common types of synthetic fibers are polyester, nylon, acrylic, vinyl, vinylon, spandex, etc. 100% cotton sweaters are the most comfortable for people to wear, are not irritating to the skin, have good breathability, are easy to perspire, and are cheap. And the texture is very soft and fits very well on the body.
Would the sweater shrink or get bigger when we washed our sweater? This is related to the specific texture of the sweater. A sweater with a good texture will slowly restore itself after it is deformed. If you use a lot of force, it is easy to make the clothes bigger.
And if you dry the sweater with water after washing, it will also make the clothes bigger and longer due to the gravity of the water, so the wet sweater cannot be hung for a long time, and you can use multiple hangers to disperse the pressure.
The sweater washing process should be as short as possible, because it will shrink over time. If a sweater is spun dry after washing, it may become smaller when it dries. The way to keep it from shrinking after washing is to put the spin-dried sweater on a large towel, flatten it, keep it still, and hang it up to dry after a day or two, so that the sweater will not shrink.
In addition, the method of keeping the sweater from stretching after washing is to put the dried sweater in the net pocket. It is best to tidy it up before placing it, then fold it and put it in, let it dry naturally, and the sweater will not become thinner.
In addition, our sweaters also face the problem of pilling, and we need to deal with it with some tricks.
1. Storage bag
When storing sweaters, you can put the sweater in the storage bag, which will reduce the friction between the sweater and other items and prevent the sweater from pilling.
2. Hairball trimmer
This is a relatively simple and convenient way to trim hair balls, just use the hair ball trimmer to move slowly on the sweater to trim, and the hair balls can be easily removed.
3. Razor
The razor blade is relatively sharp, and you must pay attention to the strength and angle used in the process of removing hairballs, otherwise it will easily scratch the sweater.
4. Toothbrush
If the pilling area of the sweater is not large, you can gently brush the surface of the sweater with a toothbrush.
