Unfortunately If Discarded, Here's How To Take Care Of Stretched Knitwear

JAKARTA - Knitwear or knitwear is an outfit that is always trending. Even since two years ago knitwear has experienced its rise, ranging from Bella Hadid to Bernie Sanders wearing knitwear outfits.

Well, if you start digging back into the contents of the wardrobe and find knitwear has stretched edible time, then there is a smart way to deal with it so that there is no unthinkable solution to throw it away.

First, have you saved it properly? Instead of hanging a knit cardigan, it is better to keep it neatly folded. Storing knitwear with hanging makes the yarn knit stretched.

Besides needing to be stored appropriately, avoid washing knit clothes with a washing machine. It is best to wash it manually and not to be checked too tightly.

The second way that can be done when knitwear stretched is to make use of the dryer. The high temperature of the dryer can make the fabric fibers tighten.

In order not to dry and become brittle, spray water on the lining of the shirt. Spray the water to make it slightly moist, then process with the dryer for 10 minutes. If you have not puckered, do it a maximum of 2 times.

Without a tumble dryer, you can soak knitwear in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. Heat can restore stretched knit fibers. And do not forget, avoid drying it by hanging so that the previous step is not in vain.

In contrast to the two ways above, the recommendation of how to return the fibers of knitwear to its original form is to put it in the freezer. Before putting it down, wash it first. Let stand until the water starts to evaporate, put it in plastic, and place it in the freezer.

If the above three methods do not work effectively, then use the last way. Although this last way can make the knitting fibers thinner, but instead of discarding it is better to take care of it so that it can be used again.

You can reshape or reshape knitwear. This last way requires cleverness and thoroughness because the knit pattern of each garment is certainly different.
