It didn't even occur to me that the sweater would shed when I bought it -- but I'll be on the alert for angora wool from now on. I love the sweater so I'll keep wearing it even if it does shed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seaters-that-shed-what-to-do#post-34424 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:27:21 +0000 Ana 34424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never come up with a solution this problem, AJ (although, I never tried the sweater in the freezer thing, lol). I think you should try it and report back. </p> <p>Sometimes this shedding thing goes away after a few wears, when the loose fibers work themselves out, but sometimes it never goes away. It's hard to tell for sure, all you can do is wait and see. I usually take a pass on shedding sweaters at the store because of that. BUT, I have found that if I wear a silky top underneath the shedding sweater, the shed is minimized (although, it doesn't go away completely). Raw silk won't work, it has to be slippery--like polyester, or satin-like, silk-cotton voile, etc--so there is less friction to pull the loose threads out of the knitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seaters-that-shed-what-to-do#post-34420 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:14:40 +0000 shiny 34420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm confusing things, but for some reason, I seem to think that you can put the sweater in the freezer for awhile.... and somehow that's supposed to minimize shedding? </p> <p>(I could be COMPLETELY wrong though!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seaters-that-shed-what-to-do#post-34404 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:14:49 +0000 Amanda 34404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the outfit that I wore with the shedding sweater:<br /> <a href="http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t346/aj-seattle/Outfits%2011-05/IMG_1243.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i514.photobucket.com/al.....G_1243.jpg</a></p> <p>The white top is actually a 3/4 sleeve tee from Target. I don't know if the top actually attracted more fuzz or if the sweater really sheds a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seaters-that-shed-what-to-do#post-34372 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:21:22 +0000 Amanda 34372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my new Mango cropped cardigan this week over a white scoop-neck knit top. The sweater is an angora/synthetic blend. The sweater shed all over the top. By the middle of the day, the scoop neck showing above the sweater was covered with burgundy fuzz. </p> <p>Is there any way to stop an angora sweater from shedding like that? </p>
