How should I take care of a new sweater?

Answer by  luckharm (77)

You should never hang up a sweater on a hanger, because you will get hanger marks around the shoulders of the sweater. You should fold it and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. You should never wash a sweater in the washing machine. Always wash by hand and lay flat to dry on a towel.

Whenever a sweater is put into the dryer it will shrink, so keep out of the dryer. Wash in a light cycle with like colors or just by itself. Some sweaters tend to gather fibers from other clothing that way.

How you care for your sweater depends on the fabric. You should follow the washing instructions exactly. It's best to keep sweaters out of the dryer.
