Wool products are famous for their capricious “character”, so the slightest mistake in care can lead to damage to your favorite sweater or dress.

If you are afraid to use an iron to get rid of creases on woolen items, use the following recommendations.

After washing, mohair sweaters should be wrapped in a thick towel, gently wrung out and laid out horizontally until dry.

If thin acrylic threads were used to make the garment, hang the garment on hangers and smooth it out with your hands.

You can get rid of wrinkles using steam – just hang your items over a bowl filled with boiling water.

A hair dryer designed for drying hair can be used as a replacement for a wool iron.

Cover the item with wet gauze, then turn on the device and treat the item with hot air. Important: do not bring the nozzle closer than 10 mm to the clothing.

But for an openwork sweater, a regular rolling pin will do. Do the following: wet two terry towels with water, then squeeze them out well. Spread one of the towels on a horizontal surface, then lay the sweater on it and cover it with the second towel, after which you can roll the rolling pin over the terry material several times.
