Wear More, Wash Less
We highly recommend taking your knits to an environmentally-friendly dry cleaner once a season - unless you love shrunken sweaters. Also opt for an eco-friendly fabric spray to freshen your knit between wears.
All sweaters pill no matter what, so have a sweater stone or fabric shaver ready. Always fold sweaters instead of hanging them, since hanging will warp the fabric over time.
