What are some ways I can wear a cardigan sweater?

A cardigan sweater makes an attractive alternative to a zip-up sweatshirt. It's a great layering piece for iffy spring or fall weather and it’s an article of clothing that women can dress down with a T-shirt and jeans or dress up with a pretty blouse and a skirt.

What fabrics work best for sweaters?

If you're looking for an inexpensive sweater with good durability, choose one made from polyester. Bear in mind that you may get pilling with this fabric, and it's not as warm as some other types of sweater fabric. Wool sweaters are warm and long-lasting, but they need to be dry-cleaned, and some types of wool can irritate the skin. If you're looking for the softest, most luxurious sweater, choose cashmere, a type of wool that comes from goats native to Central Asia. To bring down the steep price that this type of sweater fetches, look for a blend of cashmere and acrylic, cotton, or polyester.

How should I care for my sweaters?

To remove pills from your sweaters, lay them flat and cut pills with a pair of small, sharp scissors. Keep snags from becoming a problem by using a crochet hook to pull them to the inside of your sweater. Use a lint roller to remove pet hair, dandruff, or lint, and make sure to clean sweaters properly. Use a dry cleaner for wool or cashmere and handwashing for other sweater fabrics. After hand washing, roll sweaters up gently to squeeze out water and then lay them flat to dry. To prevent stretching, store sweaters in drawers instead of hanging them.
