Растянулся низ свитера как исправить лайфхаки - Исправление ошибок и поиск оптимальных решений проблем

Вне зависимости от того, насколько бережно вы обращаетесь со своими вязаными свитерами, они все равно подвержены растяжению и потере формы. К счастью, есть способы восстановить растянутые вещи. Можно попробовать усадить до нужного размера полностью растянувшийся свитер либо можно усадить отдельные растянутые участки вязаной вещи. Кроме того, разумно будет предпринять ряд мер, чтобы предотвратить нежелательное растяжение вещей в будущем.

1

Посмотрите, насколько сильно растянулся свитер. Если вы хотите уменьшить размер вещи в целом, то замочите ее целиком. Порой это не обязательно. У свитера могут быть растянуты лишь отдельные участки, такие как горловина или рукава. В таком случае вы можете вернуть им прежнюю форму вручную.
2

Для усадки свитера вручную, намочите его целиком и осторожно отожмите из него излишки воды. Наполните таз слегка теплой водой. Погрузите в воду свитер, чтобы он полностью намок. Выньте свитер из воды. Отожмите из него излишки воды над раковиной. При этом не выкручивайте и не растягивайте свитер, ведь так можно еще сильней его деформировать.^[1]
3

Придайте свитеру правильную форму. Положите свитер на махровое полотенце. Руками придайте ему правильную форму. Затем накройте свитер вторым полотенцем и отложите в сторону сушиться.^[2]
4

Осторожно высушите свитер. Выправленный свитер нельзя вешать для просушки на вешалку. Из-за этого на его плечах снова могут появиться вытянутые участки. Просто приколите свитер к тому полотенцу, на котором вы его расправили, и переложите в укромное место для просушки. Держите его подальше от детей и домашних питомцев, так как свитер нельзя трогать, пока он не высохнет.^[3]
5

Для усадки свитера с помощью сушильной машины предварительно намочите его. Если вы хотите восстановить совершенно растянутый свитер, то вам потребуются более радикальные меры. Сначала необходимо смочить вещь слегка теплой водопроводной водой. Насколько сильно вы смочите свитер, настолько сильно он сядет после обработки данным методом. Чтобы свитер сел сильнее, полностью замочите его перед помещением в сушилку. Чтобы свитер сел не так сильно, просто осторожно увлажните его из пульверизатора.^[4]
6

Просушите свитер в сушильной машине. Чтобы заметно усадить свитер целиком, его будет необходимо высушить в сушильной машине. Положите мокрый свитер в сушильную машину и включите сильный нагрев. В данном случае требуется выставить максимально возможный уровень нагрева, особенно если вы хотите сильно усадить свитер. Оставьте сушилку работать до тех пор, пока свитер не высохнет полностью. После этого он должен стать на пару размеров меньше.^[5]

1

Подготовьте емкость с горячей водой. Если у свитера растянулись лишь отдельные участки, например, горловина или рукава, то можно усадить до нужного размера только их. Для этого вам потребуется вскипятить воду в кастрюле средних размеров. Затем перелейте кипяток в миску.^[6]
2

Увлажните те участки свитера, которые нуждаются в восстановлении формы. Просто окуните в воду рукава, манжеты или горловину свитера. Чтобы не обжечься кипятком, наденьте защитные перчатки. Ожоги вам совсем не нужны.^[7]
3
Придайте деформированным участкам свитера правильную форму. С помощью пальцев осторожно сожмите тот участок свитера, который вы хотите усадить. Работайте над этим местом до тех пор, пока оно не приобретет необходимые размер и форму.^[8]
- Если вам требуется придать форму манжете рукава, то удобнее будет работать с ней на уровне груди. Эта деталь достаточно маленькая; если приблизить ее к себе, вы сможете лучше видеть то, что вы делаете.^[9] Если же вы придаете форму более крупной детали, например, горловине, постарайтесь для работы разложить свитер на плоской поверхности.
- Если свитер окажется очень мокрым, то разумно будет работать с ним на полотенце, чтобы оно впитывало в себя лишнюю воду.
4
Высушите свитер феном для волос. Придав отдельным участкам свитера правильную форму, возьмите фен для волос и высушите свитер. Поток горячего воздуха в сочетании с горячей водой поспособствуют закреплению нужной формы и усадке детали до исходного размера.^[10]
- Так как в данном методе требуется использовать горячий поток воздуха, не включайте фен на холодный обдув. Начните с небольшого нагрева. Если свитер будет сохнуть недостаточно быстро, переключите фен на более горячий поток воздуха.

Складывайте свитер в шкаф, а не вешайте. Свитера необходимо складывать и хранить на полке или в ящике, а не вешать на вешалку. У висящих свитеров могут растягиваться отдельные участки. Кроме того из-за вешалки на плечах свитера могут появиться вытянутые бугры. Если возможно, всегда складывайте свитер, а не вешайте.^[11]
2
Примите меры предосторожности, если вам необходимо повесить свитер. Если вам требуется повесить свитер, примите некоторые меры предосторожности. Возьмите толстую вешалку с широкими плечиками, чтобы обеспечить висящему свитеру надежную поддержку. Это поможет предотвратить нежелательное растяжение. Также можно просто сложить свитер и перекинуть его через нижнюю перекладину вешалки. Такой подход способен обеспечить вещи еще большую поддержку, оградив ее от растяжения.^[12]
- Дополнительно можно надеть на нижнюю перекладину вешалки разрезанную вдоль картонную трубку от рулона бумажных полотенец. Благодаря ей, на перекинутом через перекладину свитере не будет образовываться заминов.^[13]
3

Стирайте свитер вручную. По возможности, свитер всегда необходимо стирать вручную. Стирайте его в холодной воде с добавлением небольшого количества моющего средства и кондиционера для ткани. Тщательно споласкивайте вещь после стирки, чтобы на ней не оставалось следов пены. Чтобы удалить избыток влаги, слегка сдавливайте свитер. Не выжимайте и не выкручивайте его. Чтобы высушить свитер, сложите его пополам и перекиньте через толстую перекладину подставки для сушки белья.^[14]

Советы

Вернув свитеру его первозданные размер и форму, храните вещь в шкафу аккуратно сложенной и завернутой в упаковочную бумагу, а не вешайте на вешалку.

Knitted and crocheted sweaters naturally stretch out, but there’s no need to fret because shrinking them back down to size is almost always possible! Whether you need to fix a whole sweater or just a portion of the garment, you can do so through a variety of methods. Once you’ve gotten it back down to the best fit, there are many measures you can take in order to prevent future shrinking!

1

Determine how much of a sweater needs reshaping. You only need to soak an entire sweater if you want to shrink it entirely. Sometimes, this is not necessary. Your sweater may only have certain portions, like the neck or sleeves, that have stretched out. In this case, you can reshape the sweater by hand.
2

Wet the sweater and remove excess water. Fill a tub with slightly warm water. Submerge your sweater in the water until it’s soaked. Remove the sweater from the water. Press out any excess water into the sink. Do not wring or squeeze the sweater to remove water as this can cause damage.^[1]

3

Reshape the sweater. Place the sweater between a padded towel. Using your hands, gently mold the sweater into your desired shape. Then, set the sweater aside to dry.^[2]
4

Dry carefully. You should not hang a reshaped sweater to dry. Hanging can cause bumps and lumps on the sweater’s shoulders. Instead, pin the sweater to the towel you were using. From there, lay it down in a safe place to dry. Keep out of reach of children or pets as you do not want the sweater handled while drying.^[3]
5

Wet your sweater. If you want to reshape the whole sweater, more extreme action needs to be taken. To start, get your sweater wet using lukewarm tap water. How wet you get the sweater affects how much it shrinks. For more shrinking, completely soak the sweater prior to drying. For less shrinking, just gently mist the sweater using a spray bottle until its damp.^[4]
6

Place the sweater in a dryer. If you want to shrink a whole sweater, you can use a machine dryer. After wetting the sweater, place it in a dryer on high heat. You should use the highest heat setting possible, especially if you want to shrink your sweater significantly. Run the dryer until the sweater is completely dry. This should shrink your sweater a couple of sizes.^[5]

1

Prepare a basin of water. You can shrink sections of a sweater, like the neck or sleeves, if only these areas are stretched out. Be sure to test a hidden section of your sweater first, as either the boiling water or the blow-drying may affect the color. Boil a medium-sized pot of water. Then, pour this water into a bowl.^[6]
2

Dampen the areas you want reshaped. You can dip the sleeves, cuffs, or neck of the sweater into the water. Use protective gloves if the water is still steaming. You do not want to get burnt in the process.^[7]
3
Remold the sweater. Using your fingers, gently pinch and squeeze the portion of the sweater you’re shrinking. Work the sweater until it’s at your desired size and shape.^[8]
- If you’re remolding the cuff of a sweater sleeve, it might be a good idea to hold the cuff chest level as you remold. As the cuff is small, pulling it closer will allow you to see what you’re doing.^[9] When remolding a larger area, like the neck of a sweater, try laying the sweater down on a flat surface as you work.
- If your sweater is very wet, you may want to remold it over a towel to catch any drips.
4
Dry with a hair dryer. When you’ve reshaped the sweater, take a hairdryer and blow the sweater dry. The hot air works in combination with the hot water to solidify the new shape, shrinking that portion of sweater back to its original size.^[10]
- As the method requires hot air to work, you do not want to use the cool setting on your hair dryer. Start with the low heat setting. If the sweater is not drying fast enough, consider switching to high heat.

1

Fold sweaters rather than hanging them. You should fold your sweaters and store them in drawers rather than hanging them. Hanging sweaters can stretch out portions of the sweater. It can also leave small humps at the shoulders. If possible, fold your sweaters rather than hanging them.^[11]
2
Take precautions if you must hang sweaters. If you need to hang your sweaters, take certain precautions. Use thick, padded hangers to provide more support. This can help prevent stretching. You may also want to fold your sweater over and hang it from the bottom bar of a hanger. The bottom bar may provide more support, preventing stretching.^[12]
- You can cut open an empty paper towel tube and then fit it over the bottom bar of a hanger. This may help prevent creasing.^[13]
3

Hand wash your sweaters. If possible, you should always hand wash your sweaters. Hand wash them in cold water with a small amount of fabric softener and detergent. Rinse thoroughly, making sure to get all the suds out. When removing excess water before drying, press the sweater. Do not squeeze or wring it. Fold the sweater in half and hang it over the bottom bar of a hanger on a drying rack to dry.^[14]

Put it in the dryer in a netting bag or laundry bag. It will shrink and not get frayed.

Once your sweater has been shrunk to the proper size, help it to maintain that size by folding it in tissue paper and storing it on a shelf or in a drawer rather than hanging it.
