All cardigans are hung in my wardrobe all jumpers are folded in a drawer apart from one with pouffy sleeves which is hung. I always rotate my things so newly washed stuff goes at the bottom of any piles and usually what is towards the top gets worn next x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-290090 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:35:00 +0000 April 290090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I no longer have any bulky sweaters (okay, I have one that I wear if I'm not leaving the house) and I do hang the finer-gauge ones on padded satin hangers. I haven't noticed any ill effects, but then it hasn't been my experience that knitwear lasts for eons anyway. It pills or gets a tiny moth hole right in the front and that's that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-290011 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:50:46 +0000 Debora 290011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang some of my lightweight cardigans and store the bulkier ones in drawers. When the season is over they all go in the drawers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-290009 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:48:04 +0000 Heather 290009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweaters that have just come from the dry cleaners remain hanging (usually neatly doubled over the hanger). Bulkier sweaters are folded and stored in one of these tidy hanging bags (jeans and tees are folded in one of these, too):</p> <p><a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/hangingBags/shoeSweater?productId=10005136&#038;N=152" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/.....#038;N=152</a></p> <p>Good luck on your solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-290007 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:39:19 +0000 catgirl 290007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mine in a kind of cabinet part of my dresser. I find sweater storage really frustrating, though - if I stack them I can't see them or pull one out easily. The open-front ones are hard to fold and end up all wrinkled. Mo, how do you store yours like books and keep them from crumpling up? </p> <p>I do not hang sweaters because they stretch or take on the shape of the hanger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289959 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:03:50 +0000 Diana 289959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold up most sweaters and store them on shelves that are built into the sides of the closet. I hang up some very light cardigans, but only if I am wearing them often (so they don't have a chance to get hanger shaped marks in the shoulders). </p> <p>If you absolutely insist on hanging up sweaters, I recommend getting those hanging sweater holders that are basically like little canvas shelves hanging from a hanger. It's also better to use padded hangers for sweaters and other knits because they're less likely to leave shoulder marks - heavy sweaters will still stretch out vertically though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289955 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:53:33 +0000 Janet 289955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have sweaters and most of my knit tops (tees and the like) folded on shelves in our closet. Some of the denser knits that don't stretch on hangers are hung up as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289936 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:26:50 +0000 AJ 289936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold all sweaters/cardigans and store it in a mesh basket on a low shelf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289930 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:19:05 +0000 MsMary 289930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hang the lightweightweight ones that I don't think will stretch. If I don't see them hanging in the closet I tend to forget about them! The bulkier ones go in a drawer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289903 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:39:48 +0000 Mo 289903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold them on a top shelf in the closet here in FL but back home in CA I have a whole drawer devoted to them. It is deep enough that I can line them up kind of like books with the spines showing so that I see all that I have and they don't get stacked on top of each other. I agree that hanging isn't good for them and I only hang the lightest of knit cardigans and I know I really shouldn't even be doing that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-store-your-sweaters#post-289901 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:36:46 +0000 FoolOfATook 289901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to hear where you keep your sweaters for wear during these winter months. Do you hang them in the closet or fold them? I always read that sweaters should not be hung because they will stretch out of shape. Is this true? Normally I keep mine folded in a drawer, but the bulkiness really limits how many I can fit in! </p>
