How to tell whether a sweater is good or bad
Methods of distinguishing good from bad knitted sweaters
First, “look”. When purchasing, first look at whether you like the color and style of the whole sweater, and then look at whether the yarn of the sweater is uniform, whether there are obvious patches, thick and thin knots, uneven thickness, and whether there are defects in editing and sewing;
The second is “touch”. Touch whether the wool feel of the sweater is soft and smooth. If the feel is rough, it is a product of poor quality. The better the quality of the sweater, the better its feel; Cashmere sweaters and pure wool sweaters feel good and the price is also expensive. If the chemical fiber sweater pretends to be a woolen sweater, it is easy to absorb dust due to the electrostatic effect of chemical fiber, and it also lacks a soft and smooth feel. Cheap woolen sweaters are often woven with “reconstituted wool”. Reconstituted wool is reconstituted with old wool and blended with other fibers. Pay attention to discrimination.
The third is “recognition”. Pure wool sweaters sold on the market are attached with “pure wool logo” for identification. Its trademark is made of cloth, which is generally sewn on the collar or side seam of the sweater, with the pure wool mark with black words on a white background, and the washing method instruction diagram; Woolen sweaters embroidered with pure wool logo on the chest of clothes or made on buttons are counterfeit products; Pure wool sweaters are attached with “pure wool logo” for identification. The trademark is made of cloth, which is usually sewn on the collar or side seam, with pure wool logo with black words on white background and washing method instruction diagram; The trademark hangtag is paper. It is generally hung on the chest of woolen sweaters and clothes. There are pure wool signs with white words on a gray background or black words on a light blue background. Its words and patterns are signs arranged clockwise like three wool balls. On the lower right side is the letter “R” representing the registered trademark, and below is the words “purenewwool” and “pure new wool” in both Chinese and English. Some woolen sweaters embroidered with pure wool logo on the chest of clothes or made on buttons are counterfeit products.
Fourth, “check”, check whether the stitches of the sweater are tight, whether the stitches are thick, and whether the needle steps are uniform; Whether the stitches and threads at the seam edge are wrapped neatly. If the needle step exposes the seam edge, it is easy to crack, which will affect the service life; If buttons are sewn, check whether they are firm; If the back of the button door sticker is inlaid with a welt, check whether it is appropriate, because the shrinkage of the welt will wrinkle and distort the button door sticker and the button sticker. If there is no trademark, factory name and inspection certificate, do not buy it to prevent being cheated.
The fifth is “quantity”. When purchasing, you should measure the length, shoulder width, shoulder circumference and technical shoulder of the sweater to see if they are suitable for your body shape. It’s better to try it on. Generally speaking, the woolen sweater is mainly loose when wearing, so it should be slightly longer and wider when purchasing, so as not to affect the wearing due to its large shrinkage after washing. In particular, when purchasing worsted woolen sweaters, pure woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters containing more than 90% wool, they should be slightly longer and wider, so as not to affect the wearing and beauty due to large shrinkage after washing.
The applicable ordinary clothes are larger, and smaller ones should not be selected. Because wearing a sweater is mainly to keep warm, it is too close to the body, but the warmth retention is reduced, and the shrinkage rate of the wool itself is large, so there should be room for it.
