Dealing with an itchy sweater anyways? There are some tricks to minimize that itchy feeling.
• Wet the garment and put it in the fridge in a plastic bag for at least 24 hours. Doing so locks the fibres in place, so they don’t shed and poke into your skin. The next day, leave your garment to dry flat slowly.
• How do you soften your hair? Right. With conditioner. The same applies for your wool garment. Massage some diluted (high-end) conditioner into your garment and use a wool wash program afterwards to get rid of any excess. Leave flat to dry.
• Always use a special wool detergent and the wool or delicate washing programme on your machine to keep the fibers in place and avoid itching.
