I believe that many consumers will encounter a headache, the size of the woolen sweater after washing it will become smaller, and it will be uncomfortable after wearing it. I just liked the clothes I just bought, but I can’t wear them anymore. It's a pity to throw it away, and it takes up space. Is there any way to restore it? The Woollen Sweater Show tells everyone why the sweaters have shrunk. As for whether they can recover, it is something that home consumers cannot do. Therefore, dealers should also make clear to consumers when selling sweaters.
So why do sweaters shrink?
Cardigans are knitted with wool as the main raw material. Wool has a special unidirectional arrangement of scales, which is also a unique structure of animal hair. If this structure is under proper conditions, the originally loose fabric fibers will be entangled tightly with each other, which will cause the originally appropriate size sweaters to shrink and shrink. If you still can't fully understand it, then you can associate this process with the cable ties we usually use. The cable tie is also because of its special structure, which makes it only move in one direction when it is stressed, and it becomes tighter and tighter and cannot be restored. The unidirectional arrangement of hair scales is similar to the special structure of the cable tie. The greater the force, the tighter the card will be. This is also the main reason that sweaters will shrink.
In addition to this main factor, the shrinkage of the sweater is also related to the solution environment and temperature during cleaning. High temperatures also shrink sweaters, and the more loose sweaters have more room to shrink. Different types of sweaters contain different wool ingredients, so we must wash them according to the washing method indicated on the label when washing, otherwise the sweaters will easily shrink due to improper cleaning.
Cardigans choose dry cleaning, but frequent use of irritating chemicals can cause damage to the fabric of the cardigans. Maintaining and washing sweaters is actually very simple. When washing woolen sweaters, choose a special woolen cleaning fluid. If not, choose a milder laundry detergent.
When cleaning, wash with warm water at 30 ℃, turn the sweater from the inside out, soak it for about 5 minutes, after washing with warm water, wrap the sweater with a dry towel, and twist the moisture inside the clothes. When drying, put the woolen sweater on a large towel and lay it on the floor to dry it, the woolen sweater will not be deformed.
When washing woolen sweaters, neutral detergent or neutral detergent should be used. If you choose alkaline detergents for daily laundry, hair fibers are easily damaged. The washing water temperature is preferably about 30 ° C. If the water temperature is too high, the woolen sweater will be flocked and felted again. If the water temperature is too low, the washing effect will be reduced.
Many consumers did not follow the merchant's requirements and did not look at the washing method indicated on the label. They put the sweater directly into the washing machine to wash it, which led to the shrinkage of the sweater. So is there any way to remedy the shrinking woolen sweater and restore the shrinking woolen sweater to its original size?
There are methods. The commonly used methods are: use a steamer to separate the steam or an electric iron, but the Woollen Sweater Show needs to point out that high temperatures are also one of the reasons for shrinking sweaters. So if these two methods are used, will the sweater shrink more? This problem may be related to the composition of the wool in the sweater. Wool sweaters contain different types of wool, and the way they are washed is different. If these two methods are used for recovery, the effects achieved for different types of sweaters are different. Maybe someone else can work through these two methods to restore the shrinking sweater, and they will have the opposite effect.
Another method is to soak with a chemical potion. The chemical potion is called Armonia water, but this potion itself contains chemical ingredients that damage wool. When using it, pay attention to the dilution ratio and the soaking time. So be cautious when using this method.
In order to prevent the sweater from shrinking, the best way is to take precautions. Therefore, when consumers buy woolen sweaters, they must not be too troublesome when washing them. They must be washed in the way indicated on the label, otherwise they will be like me, or they will wear shrinking woolen sweaters, otherwise It's a pity to put it in the closet and save it.
Is there any good way you can save a shrinking sweater? Welcome to share your life experience with Woollen Sweater Show.

Fancy yarns greatly protect people's travel and protect people's health. At present, the best raw material for fancy yarn is 100% imported Australian wool, that is, ultra-fine Merino wool. It belongs to imported raw materials and has origins, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay. Imported Australian wool fancy yarn can be used for knitting sweaters, trousers, scarves, hats, gloves, etc. It has a wide range of uses and protects the skin. As for the classification and characteristics of fancy yarns, follow the steps of the Yarn Show and decrypt them together.
Fancy yarn refers to the yarn with special structure and appearance effect obtained by processing fibers or yarns using special raw materials, special equipment or special processes during spinning and thread making. A type of yarn. Almost all natural fibers and common chemical fibers can be used as raw materials for the production of fancy yarns. Fancy yarns can be silk, pressed, silk, rayon, cotton, hemp, synthetic fiber, gold and silver threads, and blends. Yarn, cotton, etc. as raw materials. Various fibers can be used alone or in combination with each other to complement each other's strengths and give full play to their inherent characteristics.

The structure of fancy yarn consists of core yarn, decorative yarn and solid yarn. The core yarn bears the main yarn; the decorative yarn is wrapped around the core yarn to form an effect; the solid yarn is wrapped around the outer periphery of the decorative yarn in the opposite twist direction to fix the pattern, but there are cases where the fixed yarn is not used. The following introduces the names and characteristics of several common fancy yarns (threads):
Knot yarn is twisted multiple times at the same place. The helix is made by combining and twisting two yarns of different fineness, twist and type. Thick and thick fiber bundles are attached to the core yarn and wrapped with solid yarn. The loop line decoration line forms a closed loop shape and is wrapped with a solid yarn outside. The knotted yarn is wound around the core wire in a spiral manner, but is thrown in a loop shape at intervals. The chenille thread sandwiched the lateral gauze on the core. Plush yarn ends loosen.
Fancy yarns processed by dyeing methods such as color mixing threads, printed threads, rainbow threads, etc .; three are fancy threads processed by fancy twisting machines, in which the feeding speed of core and decorative threads can be varied and changed. It is divided into super feeding type such as spiral line, small braid line, loop line and control type such as big belly line, knot line, etc .; four is special fancy line such as chenille line, cored line, brushed line, flocking line, etc. .
How are fancy yarns classified? Fancy yarns can be roughly divided into the following categories according to their processing methods: one is the fancy thread processed by ordinary spinning systems, such as chain thread, gold and silver thread, and yarn; and the other is the fancy yarn processed by dyeing method. Lines such as mixed color lines, printed lines, rainbow lines, etc .; Third, fancy lines processed by fancy twisting machines.Among them, according to the difference and change in the feeding speed of core and decorative threads, it can be divided into super-feeding types such as spiral Line, small braid line, loop line and control type such as big belly line, knot line, etc .; Fourth, special fancy line such as chenille line, cored line, brushed line, flocking line, etc. There are many varieties of fancy appearance for decoration, and there are many production methods. The structure of fancy yarn consists of core yarn, decorative yarn and solid yarn. The core yarn bears strength and is the main yarn; the decorative yarn is wrapped around the core yarn to form an effect; the solid yarn is wrapped around the outer circumference of the decorative yarn in the opposite twist direction to fix the pattern, but there are cases where the fixed yarn is not used.

Many people can't distinguish the connection and difference between cashmere sweaters, woolen sweaters, sweaters and knitwear, and mistakenly think that sweaters are woolen sweaters. And many bad manufacturers use this knowledge to blindly make profits, and some sweater dealers may not understand it. Today's Woollen Sweater Show will come to talk to you.Before talking about the relationship between them, we must first explain the definition of sweaters.
Knitting sweaters use various knitting needles to form loops of various raw materials and varieties of yarn, and then connect them to form knitted fabrics through string sleeves. Its texture is soft, has good wrinkle resistance and breathability, and has greater extensibility and elasticity. It can be seen from the definition of knitwear that it only specifies the knitting process of clothes, and does not specify the raw material yarn. Natural fibers such as wool yarn, cashmere yarn, and cotton and linen yarn can be used. Chemical fiber yarns such as polyester and spandex can also be used. Many of the underwear and sportswear we usually wear are sweaters.
Knitting is relative to weaving. Knitting is divided into warp knitting and weft knitting. I will not repeat it here. Putting a picture may be more intuitive. Woven is cross-knitted yarn, knitted warp knitting is the longitudinal ferrule of the yarn, knitted weft knitting is the transverse ferrule of the yarn.
The woolen coats and down jacket fabrics we usually wear are basically woven, which is characterized by stable structure and no elasticity without spandex. Warp-knitted fabrics are also used in clothing, but more chemical fibers are used as raw materials, while woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters are weft-knitted fabrics, which are characterized by good elasticity in both vertical and horizontal directions, especially greater horizontal elasticity. You can clearly see the mesh formed after the coils snare each other by pulling open, and then return to the original state after releasing.
All knitted structures can be called knitwear, which includes woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters. In the future, don't just pick up a sweater and say it's a sweater.
Sweater refers to a weft knitted sweater woven with wool fibers. The wool here can be wool, alpaca, cashmere, rabbit hair, mink, or imitation artificial wool such as polyester or acrylic. The surface of the clothes There will be a layer of fluff somehow, and it is easy to fluff. Sweaters include sweaters and cashmere sweaters.
The word "cardigan" originally refers to a sweater woven using wool fibers as a raw material, but as word of mouth spreads, it now broadly refers to all sweaters, including cashmere sweaters, mink sweaters, mohair Shirts, etc., and cashmere sweaters refer to sweaters woven from cashmere fibers. The cardigans I refer to below refer to cardigans in a broad sense.
According to national regulations, only those with a cashmere or wool content exceeding 95% can be called "pure wool sweaters" or "pure cashmere sweaters". The pure cashmere logo or pure wool logo is used. The others can only be called cashmere or wool blended products.
You can check the washing standard. Generally, the regular manufacturers will indicate the proportion of each component, but you should pay attention to the description of ingredients such as "sheep cashmere, lamb cashmere, and lamb cashmere". These are chemical fiber ingredients, and only write " "Cashmere" or "cashmere" or "cashmere" is the cashmere component. Wool may be written more according to different categories, such as "wool", "Australian wool", "lamb wool", "mohair" and so on.
When we buy a sweater, the first step is to check the ingredients. If a sweater does not dare to specify the ingredients or does not even wash the label, then there is no need to consider it. It is definitely not a good product. Don't listen to the shopping guide there, unless it is directly made by the manufacturer.
The components of woolen sweaters are wool, cashmere, alpaca wool, rabbit cashmere, mink wool, and cattle hair, and other animal protein fibers. Wool includes mohair, Australian wool, domestic wool, and lamb wool (lamb wool). Synthetic or chemical fibers such as polyester, nylon, and viscose. Animal fibers are much better in feel and warmth than chemical fibers, and are harmless to humans. The higher the content of animal fibers, the better the quality of sweaters.
Of the common animal fibers, cashmere and alpaca are of the highest quality and expensive. Although mohair is also good in hair quality, the hair is too long, it is easy to be electrostatic, and it is not suitable for wearing. Although mink and rabbit velvet are also soft, they are very easy to lose hair and pilling, and the mink velvet used to make sweaters is generally not a real mink velvet, but a blend of mule velvet, wool, and rabbit velvet. Domestic wool fibers are thick and sturdy. Only the finest Australian wool can compare with cashmere, but overall it is slightly inferior to cashmere.
The above are some views on sweaters, woolen sweaters and cashmere sweaters, Woollen Sweater Show hopes to help everyone.
