What to do when a sweater is washed long
Find a large cardboard box to disassemble and cut the cardboard to a human size according to the reasonable size of the wool sweater. After the wool sweater has been washed and dehydrated, stuff the cardboard into the wool sweater so that it is propped up left and right while the length is shortened, then iron it flat and lay it flat to dry. If your sweater is pure wool, you can soak it in warm water at 30 degrees to 50 degrees and let it slowly regain its shape until it has almost recovered its shape before putting it in cold water to set. Finally, remember not to wring it out when drying, but to lay it flat to dry. If your sweater is not too expensive kind, there is really no way to recover it. In addition, you can also go to the dry cleaners and ask if you can recover.

What fabric sweater does not pilling
The reason why the sweater is balled up is in the process of friction, the fibers hooked up, bending back, multiple fibers combined together to form a ball, this has the most to do with the material of the sweater.
Various animal hair, such as wool, cashmere, silk, these materials will not pilling sweater, of course, some are not pure wool, cashmere, etc., you can add some pure cotton is also no problem. However, if mixed with man-made fibers, it will pilling.
3. cotton, hemp and other natural materials are not pilling, from pure cotton or pure hemp fiber made of sweater, but also can be mixed with animal hair.
Sometimes due to our improper handling of sweaters, sweaters that do not pilling may also pilling, such as certain types of sweaters stated not machine washable, you prefer to put in the washing machine to wash, then of course, will also pilling. These are generally indicated.
Note: 1.
1. Cashmere sweaters are not easy to pilling, but the price of pure cashmere sweaters is also relatively expensive.
2. Because of the soft texture and good feel of cashmere itself, but the expensive price is not acceptable for everyone. There is also the cotton sweater is not easy to pilling, but the cotton line is not warm enough to wear in winter.
3. Wool sweaters are easier to pilling, especially some parts that are often rubbed, such as the collar, cuffs and so on. Now most of the sweaters are blended with acrylic fiber, acrylic is also easy to pilling, plus the wool itself is easy to pilling, so sweaters containing acrylic is not recommended to buy.
Is the pilling of sweaters a quality problem?
As long as it is wool fabric, it will definitely pilling!
This is not directly related to the quality of wool (including cashmere), I will first talk about the reasons for wool pilling. The reason why wool and cashmere can keep you warm is actually similar to the down of a down jacket. The wool fiber is long, tough, the fiber itself has a high fluffiness, so as to impede the flow of air between the wool fibers to isolate the thermal conductivity, thus playing the effect of insulation. We recall that when we talked about down jackets, we talked about fluffiness as an indicator, which is actually a similar effect. It is because of this characteristic that the fluffy yarns of wool and cashmere will break away from the yarn trunk to pile up the fibers on the surface of the wool sweater as soon as they are rubbed by force, and then twist around each other to become small balls. This is the fundamental reason why wool and cashmere sweaters are prone to pilling. So a good wool sweater will not pilling? Obviously not. The reason why wool sweaters pucker is because they are rubbed by external forces. For example, the friction of the lining of your jacket, than the pulling when you take off and put on the clothes, are very easy to cause pilling. Over time you can see that a wool/cashmere sweater with fine yarn and tight worsted will be warmer and more prone to pilling; a wool/cashmere sweater with coarse yarn and weave will be relatively weak in terms of warmth, but less prone to pilling. Does it sound contradictory? The better the fabric and weave, the higher the pilling rate. If the pilling rate alone is used to judge the goodness and grade of a wool sweater, there are still some crude methods to refer to. For example.
1. a good wool / cashmere sweater feel soft, even if the pilling it particles are relatively small ;
2. the hand feel of the wool / cashmere sweater, pilling particles are also relatively large more ugly;
3. if your wool sweater does not pilling … can only say, this child shoes, now chemical fiber imitation wool or very similar, do not blame me for not telling you …
Of course, it is true that there are some wool fabrics that are less prone to pilling. For example, Turkey’s mohair (Mohair), made from Angora goat hair within 8 years of age, is highly elastic and resistant to pressure, and relatively less prone to pilling. But really good mohair products are also very expensive, like the two foreigners wearing Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli in the picture above, often thousands of thousands of dollars a piece, not X Bao on a few hundred dollars of products can be compared.
