In my memories,if somebody knit wool glove for me,I will be happy for a long time.Because I think it stands of love for me.I am very preciate in my heart.So I will find useful tips to protect this sweet love. The reason of protecting the hand knitting yarn gift is that I regarded it as an artistic work with treasures of someone’s time,skill and talent. Whether you’ve received one as a gift or done the work yourself, proper care of hand knits will help them last for many years to come here.
First is the tips for hand washing :
1. Remember gently swing the knitted item in the water. The most important thing is that never to wring or scrub on it.
2. Remove the basin and add fresh frequently, both cold water for rinsing. Repeat this process until all the water is quite clear and free of suds.
3. Support the item from underneath as you transfer it to a dry towel.
Second useful ideas are related to reshaping and drying:
1. Gently remove excess water and lay the item flat on a dry, absorbent towel and roll up in the towel, pressing firmly as you roll. Do not wring the towel.
2. Lay a dry bath towel on a flat surface large enough to keep your garment with arms extended if appropriate. When washing the knitting wool yarn sweaters,you should has a protective vinyl top. Always protect wood surfaces with a vinyl tablecloth under the towel.
3. Place the knitted item on the dry towel and reshape into its original shape. Pat it into shape; avoid tugging or pulling. Gently push the ribbing together at the neckline, wrists and waist. Fasten buttons. Fold collar.
Hand washing may seem like a lot of trouble, but from the above ideas you can be assured that plenty of work went into creating your knitted garment.
