Can I recover my sweater from shrinkage?
The cashmere sweater is skin-friendly, comfortable and warm, and is a very suitable innerwear for autumn and winter, but the cleaning of the cashmere sweater must pay attention to the water temperature and detergent, the water temperature should not be too high, the detergent is better to choose neutral, otherwise, the cashmere sweater will only be washed harder and easier to shrink. If you accidentally get shrinkage, you can try the following methods to recover.
The ways how to unshrink cashmere sweater is as follows:
1. First, we must make an ironing board. The materials used are unshrunk cardboard and a sweater.
2. Then spread the sweater without shrinkage flat on the cardboard, and then mark the key parts of the cardboard with a pencil.
3. After connecting the marks with a ruler, cut the cardboard with scissors and tape the edges to avoid scratching the sweater.
4. The sleeves should be cut separately on the ironing board in the same way as above.
5. After the ironing board is ready, put it into the shrunken sweater. We have started ironing and the clothes will be in a damp state.
6. During the ironing process, pull while ironing. This step is the most important, only a moderate amount of force is enough.
Why does the cashmere sweater get smaller the more I wash it?
The more you wash it, the smaller it gets, which means it shrinks, generally related to the way you wash and the use of detergent.
Cashmere is a natural protein fiber, and proteins will denature when exposed to acid or alkali. If shrinkage or hardening occurs, the wrong detergent has been used. Remember, cashmere products (including wool) should only be cleaned with neutral detergents. Washing powder, soap, laundry detergent, etc. are all alkaline detergents. There are now special laundry detergents for cashmere on the market, so you can buy a little to keep at home.
In addition, if the water temperature and technique of washing are not correct, it is also easy to shrink and deform. Therefore, when washing cashmere sweaters, it is best to keep the water temperature at about 35°C. When washing, use your hands to gently squeeze, avoid rubbing, kneading, or twisting with your hands. Do not use the washing machine to wash cashmere sweaters. After washing and spinning, cashmere sweaters should be left to dry in a ventilated area. Do not hang them or expose them to sunlight to avoid distortion of the cashmere sweater.
How to take care of cashmere sweaters?
Cashmere sweaters have relatively fine fibers. If they are to be used outdoors, avoid rubbing against hard objects (such as bags), which may cause localized pilling. If there is pilling, do not pull. You can remove them with scissors or a depilatory device.
After wearing a cashmere sweater all day, you need to recover your body shape intermittently. Therefore, when wearing a cashmere sweater, have several pieces and rotate them to allow for rest and recovery.
Wearing a cashmere sweater for a long time will wear out the collar, elbow joints, hem, and cuffs. Please take care to repair them promptly to prolong their life.
Cashmere is a protein fiber that is easily consumed by insects. After passing, it must be cleaned and stored. When storing cashmere sweaters, please take care not to stack multiple pieces. Use a cotton cloth or dust bag to store them separately.
