Drying a sweater on a hanger can stretch it out of shape, but there's a technique to minimize this. The best way to dry a sweater on a hanger is to fold it over the hanger to distribute the weight evenly.
Here's how:
- Fold the sweater: Fold the sweater in half lengthwise, ensuring the sleeves are aligned.
- Place on hanger: Position the hanger's hook at the armpit of the folded sweater. Drape the sweater over the hanger, so that both sides hang equally.
- Adjust: Adjust the sweater so it's evenly balanced on the hanger.
- Air Dry: Hang the sweater in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat, which can damage the fibers.
This method helps prevent shoulder bumps and excessive stretching compared to simply hanging a sweater by its shoulders.
