TipsHow to store sweaters: fold, don’t hang

Knits are the exception to “hang everything.” Hanging a sweater stretches the shoulders over time.

Three folded knit sweaters in beige, cream and charcoal on a wooden shelf.

How to fold

  1. Lay the sweater flat, front down.
  2. Fold each sleeve across the back.
  3. Fold the sweater in half, or in thirds, to the width of your shelf.
  4. Stack neatly, heaviest and darkest at the bottom.

Shelf tips

  • Fold to the width of the shelf so stacks sit flush.
  • Keep stacks to a few sweaters so you can see and reach what you need.
  • Use a shelf, not a bin, for everyday knits.

How we handle it

We set up shelving for knits so everything is visible, uncrushed and easy to put back.
