Sweaters should be folded neatly in a dresser drawer. They should not be hung on a hanger, because hanging causes them to pull out of shape. To avoid a crease down the middle, fold your sweaters by these steps: 1. Lay the sweater on a clean, flat surface (table or bed) face down. 2. Fold the left side over about 3 inches from the outside edge.
3. Now carefully fold the sleeve back to the left.
4. Next, fold the right side in the same manner.
5. Carefully bring the bottom half up over the top half, while you hold your hand in the middle to keep your sweater straight. Turn it over and see--no crease in the center!
You will find that sweaters folded in this manner take far less space in your drawer. If you keep your sweaters in separate plastic bags, it will prevent them from picking up lint or "fuzz" from each other. This is especially important with white and very light colors. Sweaters very often acquire little "fuzz balls" either from wear or after washing. You can purchase a fuzz remover from your dry cleaner or clothing store. If they do not have them in stock, ask them to order one for you, as they work very effectively and are easier to use than a wire brush. Whether you use a fuzz remover or a brush to remove fuzz balls from your sweaters, brush very lightly since too much pressure will harm the fibers.
