Chunky Knit Sweaters Thread

[Froosh]

Anyone know where I can find a nice cream / ivory shawl collar cardigan?

And also a simple lightweight v-neck cardigan in black / charcoal that has a deeper V (like the Wings and Horns cashmere cardigan but without the ribbed shoulder caps)? TIA!

Nice thanks! Are APC cardis slim and good quality? Also do they ever go on sale anywhere, that's pretty expensive!

APC knits are pretty good, but at that price you could buy into SNS or a few other knitwear labels that are even nicer. I can't think off the top of my head of another cream shawl cardigan at that price point though...

[Froosh]

Thanks for the input! What about for a simple lightweight black/charcoal cardigan with a deep V-neck? Seems that APC is overpriced, so what's better bang for the buck? The ones from SNS Herning button up very high, I like a button stance more similar to the Wings + Horns cashmere cardigan.

I bought this thom Browne cardigan http://www.barneys.com/Shawl-Collar-Cardigan/501368905,default,pd.html and it was fucking tiny, I want some shawl collared knits and some like thick turtle necks for the winter.

How to unshrink a wool sweater

Like an idiot, I threw my brand new wool sweater in the wash and then in the dryer, shrinking it down about three sizes, rendering it unwearable. When I asked my roommate if there was a way to unshrink a wool sweater, he started laughing even before I could finish my question. Well my friends, I have mastered the black art of wool unshrinking and am here to share it with you.

When wool gets wet and warm, the fibers in the wool lock themselves together and don't want to let go, resulting in shrinkage (you can get wool warm or wet, but not both). To unshrink the wool, soak the garment in warm water with a mild soap for about 10 minutes. This unlocks the fibers in the wool. Then lay the garment out on some towels in a cool place. Stretch the garment out to its original dimensions. The stretching pulls the unlocked wool fibers away from each other. Allow it to dry. The absence of heat from the drying process allows the wool fibers to set in place without locking together and shrinking the garment again.

Long story short: I have a brand new, fully functional sweater again. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Brian.
