Is it better to hang or to fold your knitwear?

[drtchock]

I've got alot of Martin Margiela knitwear and i've always folded it, but ive started hanging one piece because its creases like a bitch! Im starting to think would it do any harm hanging all of it? Since they hang it in the shops? Im not talking about heavy knitwear, just lightweight jumpers and cardigans.

What are your thoughts?

throw it away if its recent/by diesel

always fold super heavy or super thin knits

mmm is owned by the guy who founded and owns diese yesl, but the knitwear is still made in the same place as it has always been.

you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Always hang as many pieces as you can.

Shops usually hang everything, including heavy knits and leathers so you can't really base your decision on that. If the piece(s) creases easily, then it's definitely light enough to be hung. The only worry is some hangers can cause the shoulders of a garment to stretch oddly (which can usually be fixed by washing it if it isn't a heavy knit/leather, but it's a bit of a pain). If you have softer hangers or the ones that aren't so wide, you probably won't have to worry about anything.

what is the piece / fabric composition? my knits are always in drawers and i can't imagine anything that would crease except a blend with something like cotton / silk

you may have too many in your drawer if they're getting creased in the drawer, I've never had a problem with creasing when folded and kept fluffy.

I just fold all of mine up carefully and don't stack too many on top of each other. No problems so far.

How thin are your knits?? I have never had any of mine crease when folded. I figure it is better not to hang stuff that is prone to stretching.

If you have a dresser than fold them, if you have a wardrobe then hang them. Easy as that
