Some of them do crush a bit sometimes though so I'm wondering about folding them around something - maybe some tissue paper?- to help prevent this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-523061 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:26:25 +0000 Queen Mum 523061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also use the huggable hangers. I think they really help. In the rare instance a dimple does form, I just pat it down with wet fingers and that takes care of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-523057 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:23:25 +0000 Anonymous 523057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My folded sweaters in a drawer don't get wrinkled but they are given plenty of room. Those hung get huggable type hangers and are hung inside out so that if dimples form, they go the other direction, although it hasn't been a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-523045 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:09:39 +0000 Aida 523045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold heavier knits gently, and they rarely crease. For finer knits I hang them on those Huggable Hangers; they work perfectly! No stretching on the shoulder, no sagging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522916 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:16:55 +0000 Meredith1953 522916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hanging them but they started sproutin those little shoulder bumps that look like wings. I now fold them OVER a hanger (like one does with pants). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522884 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:45:56 +0000 catgirl 522884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold but hate the wrinkling, and throw into the dryer for a minute to unwrinkle before wearing. There's no good solution! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522883 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:41:29 +0000 Anonymous 522883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang everything. It's easier that way, and I don't have to deal with wrinkles or folds. I don't have any heavy knits. Also, I use the velvet hangers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522744 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:10:25 +0000 Sylvie 522744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Folded in a drawer. I don't find they get crumpled if I'm careful with my piles.</p> <p>Lightweight ones that are sturdy enough not to get stretched out of shape by hangers go in the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522692 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:21:30 +0000 Suz 522692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Ironkurtain says. Depends on the weave and the function...I only ever hang cardis and only if they can withstand it. I aim for a soft hanger to avoid the nipple problem. Otherwise, I fold them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522662 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:55:50 +0000 ironkurtin 522662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on the weave. I fold the heavier ones and hang others. Shelf dividers are an excellent way to keep them from toppling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522584 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:35:43 +0000 Amy 522584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold my knits. I've had unfortunate experiences with knits on hangers either sagging or developing "shoulder nipples."</p> <p>Not cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522509 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:54:47 +0000 Anonymous 522509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold. I never hang any knits. I have a cheapo steamer, for those times I need to remove wrinkles ASAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522464 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:24:50 +0000 Abie 522464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang mine. I don't really have any heavy knits and I'd rather have everything hanging so I can see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522451 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:06:02 +0000 Mo 522451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold my knits, especially the chunkier, heavy ones, and the very fine ones that get shoulder bumps. But I am on an avid hunter for petite sized hangers and once I find the right ones, am going to try hanging all but the chunkiest of knits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522449 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:04:27 +0000 Queen Mum 522449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang everything other than workout wear and I don't notice any sagging (at least not with the clothing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522437 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:33:45 +0000 Kappy 522437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang all mine. I just prefer to have all my clothes hanging in the closet. When my sweaters were folded on the shelf, I never wore them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-go-for-sagging-or-crumpling-knits#post-522435 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:31:51 +0000 anne 522435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems to me that is the choice - either have them crumpled in a drawer/shelf, or sagging on a hanger.</p> <p>Which do you choose and why - or is there a better option? </p>
