Like David Rose on “Schitt’s Creek,” we love our knits.
Sweaters deserve extra care in return for keeping us cozy.
Whether designer-label or hand-knitted, sweaters can be styled and paired with your wardrobe to createchic looksfor every occasion.
Besides sweater weather, another signature sign of winter is the unmistakable crackle of static electricity.
For clothes, electrostatic charge happens when different fabrics rub together.
Static is a fan of low humidity, making dry-aired winter its favorite season (perGood Housekeeping).
Say goodbye to sweater static
To avoid static cling, consider your choice of sweater material.
Natural fibers, like wool, hold moisture better than synthetic acrylic fibers and are less prone to static.
To lessen static in the dryer, choose dryer sheets or wool dryer balls.
Dryer balls offer a chemical-free alternative to the more common dryer sheets.
Of course, depending on the sweater’s material, you might skip the dryer altogether.
For wool sweaters,Woolmarkadvises gently reshaping and laying the sweater flat to air dry.
Before you put on your favorite sweater, slather on some moisturizer to prevent static because of dry skin.
Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air and eliminate static throughout the day (perCleanipedia).
That way you’re able to enjoy soft skin as well as static-free clothes and hair.
